"Lynn misses seeing trains. They don't have any around our big little city. So one day a few months ago I was once again abandoned like an unloved orphan.
She ended up at a city park that has a major crossroads fur trains comin' and goin' north and south and east and west."
And then there was lunch at this very old
dinner that served breakfast and lunch only.
The best meatloaf dinner.
And this mural was on a building catty-corner to the diner.
The control tower is very close by and they
have a speaker for visitors to hear when the
next train is coming thru and what they are
to do on the track. It was fun to sit inside the
van and watch, it was a very brisk weather day.
"The best thing, Lynn had me to come home to and warm
her fingers in my grey onesie."
Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.
It is much appreciated.

Well now! I~Love~Trains....Though l have'nt
been on one in many a long year...I watch
all the train programs on TV...Michael Portillo's
'Great Train Journeys'..and a new one just started
'Griff's Great Australian Rail Trip. The third program
was on, just this Weds. on E4...
And Portillo has been making train journeys all over
the world, for the last twenty years...Great stuff......
All well worth watching, especially the American ones...!
Never mind Precious...I expect Mum told you all about
her trip, and the trains...you may find them a bit noisy,
but there lovely 'BIG' things of beauty...! Woo! Woo! :).

I haven't been on a train for years apart from two restored steam trains that do coastal trips. The mural is lovely.
That was a fun outing! I'm about 2 or 3 minutes by car from our train station, and trains abound! You can hear the whistles from almost everywhere in this small city.
I love that mural, a bonus to see.
Precious, I'm sure Lynn was happy to see you after her jaunt. I hope she brought you a treat or present to make up for the abandonment. 😉💕
PRECIOUS THIS IS A MOST WONDERFUL POST THAT I WILL SHARE WITH MY RESIDENT TRAIN BRAIN. I 200% you patience as you waited home alone and unloved while Lynn snapped each photo. I do love meatloaf and that mural...WOW

Hi Lynn, My husband and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. To celebrate we are taking the train from Atlanta to New Orleans in early April. It's a 12 hour train ride, all during daylight hours. We have a little roomette reserved. This will be our 3rd train trip to New Orleans. I'm so excited!
Trains are fun to see but I didn't like seeing them when I was trying to get home from work and one stopped and blocked the crossing forever. You are very patient seet Precious!
That big old engine is a real workhorse.
Trains are wonderful. They should have more of them, all over the country. And a diner still going strong for ninety years. I'm glad your mum patronises it, Precious.
We have a Canadian National Railway line that runs straight through our city, so we see trains all of the time.

features Thomas Edison as a boy, who learned to use the telegraph.
