Little Girl’s First Train Ride: Adorable Overload or Eh?

All these baby things are an overload

My first train ride of any kind, was at Knott's Berry Farm, when my grandmother
took me on their narrow gage that still circles around the park today. A little over
a year later, my first trip on an actual non amusement passenger train (although
that was almost as much fun), was almost two years later, in the pre Amtrak days,
when our family took a trip from our home out west back east to the midwest, via
the Uncle Pete's (thats Union Pacfic) famous City of St. Louis. That was about on
the tail end of rail travel's glory years. I hope that little girl is able to take some long
distance trips on AMTRAK. That's on my bucket list. I even miss my regular trips
on the commuter trains out here. I do hope that the commuter railroad expands
service out to where I now live in the very near future. We do have some AMTRAK
service out here though.

AWWWW ..
I loved taking my children on Trains ..
especially if and when I could find near some place I was stationed (while in the Military) old Steam Trains ..
they LOVED the rides .. seeing the scenery .. and just enjoying the sites!

Awwww ♥

Everybody is tring to get the next honey boo boo (whatever that hicks name is).

Something I missed when my kids grew up was that wide-eyed amazement with things that little kids can do...

Come on, the girls adorable!

Reminds me of my children when they were little. It is wonderful to see such simple pleasures in childhood.

Very cute indeed.

It wasn't as fantastic as it all was hyped up to be, but it wasn't "eh" either.

Cute! :)

Ah to be that bright eyed and full of wonder and amazement.

i never felt like that over a train.. unless it was platform 9 3/4 and it took me to hogwarts. then id spazz like a nerd :) *Runs into wall* damn it harry potter lied!!! *passes out*

SO cute.

You had just made that girls dream come true!!! To see her face light up when she seen the train coming, priceless. Way to cute!!!

So cute! That was me at age 6 when my dad hired a private plane for my birthday to tour around the city. I wanted an airplane of my very own! Guess what, I never got one!

It just great!

That is cute!

Oh to see the new thing excitement in her eyes was just fantastic.

Very cool. Wouldn't it be nice to be that young and innocent again?

So lindo!

Cute, but typical when a parent is trying to make a memory for their kid. Did the same for mine when he was just a little older. Great dad doing that for her to see over and over again as she grows up. But still a Eh.

The world is so filled with all sorts of crap, nonsense and drama. Then, this little girl comes along to brighten up our days!!

I just recently took my children to Walt Disney World. My 11 year old totally got where we were going and although he was excited about it was no where close to my 6 year old. My daughter got that she was getting to see Mickey etc... but not until she actually saw the castle did it hit her. And let me tell you... the surprise and joy in her face was just unbelievable.

The things like this little girl and her obvious excitement for trains is what makes it all worth wild being a parent.

Really cute.

She's made even more adorable because her parents insist she wear her baby sister's Dolce & Gabbana baby perfume. How 'bout that!?

She's adorable.

smart kid

What a sweetie!!

Genuine awe! Love it!

Love it or hate it, kids let you know how they really feel about things. Pure opinion. Love it.

Awwww!! She's so cute!!! >///<

I'm usually sarcastic when I respond. Not this time. Awwwww.

I think my favorite part is where she says "Look at how it goes to us.". She reminds me of Gollum. :)

Man I wish I could still get excited like this over anything. She looked genuinely in awe of the train lol. Bless her :)

Kids are often adorable, that's what keeps us from killing them. LOL Really she is adorable.

Happy Birthday Madeline!

There is nothing more enjoyable as a child express pure expressions of happiness and wonderment in this cold society
