I was a train driver for over 20 years, nothing makes a bad day on the rail better, by putting a smile on a kids face,with a musical horn show! Even if their eardrums disagree🤣👍😎🇦🇺
Don't know much about trains....but, I do know how it feels to have kids arm pump me to blow the air horns on my truck! And watch em grin really big as they pass!
The other day we were watching the local CSX train work outside of Winder, GA and the engineer noticed we were riding along and watching. Saw my 2 year old in her car seat, waved at her and blew the horn a few times. Made all of our day. Those little extra steps are awesome, and I'm 34 lol
@@shabbymaverick7975 absolutely! Our little girl had to tell everyone the train blew the horn for her and waved at her. She loved it. I did too.... I'm a 34 year old train fanatic.
I'm a father, too. I see that grandfather holding his grandson watching the train go by, and I know damned well he's thinking: "I've got to tell that boy to slow down! He's driving that train like a maniac! What the hell is the matter with that kid !? ha ha ha We're all alike.
I never run a train but drove a truck 38 years and everytime a kid would show the honk your horn sign I would do it and to see them jump around made me happy! I miss those days
I often used to go with my dad ( a lorry driver in the UK ) on trips with him. Totally loved waving back to the kids that made the 'honk' sign. You could see it on their faces the delight it gave them :-)
I'm right there with ya little man. To me, there is nothing sweeter than rhythm of a train. The music it sends out in the middle of the night, from the silence, is Heaven to my ears.
I drive electric units in Auckland, New Zealand. I always make sure to give a wave and a toot when I see people waving. Sometimes I’m lucky to see their reaction. I think it makes both of our days.
@@TamsPlace Your welcome. One instructor I had during driver training said we should always wave. It might entice young kids to join the rail industry. One day at Glen Eden station in Auckland, I saw a mum and her daughter, who I would say was about 6, obviously waiting for my train and for her dad to get off the train. I waved to them as I was stopping. Her face lit up with a tremendous smile and I heard her say “he waved”. You can’t buy moments like that.
This reminded me of my childhood...I would even got up at 5.00am in the darkness, walked 2 miles to the train station, just to see those majestic locomotives puffed their way in and out among the colourful signal lights.
the grandad giving the grandson a lifetime of survival knowledge in just an instant.... powerful stuff... thanks for the upload... greetings from tasmania
1:18 The glow in that little toddler's eye was brighter than the light on the train!! Grandpa, thank you for bringing another promising member to the railfanning club...Welcome buddy.
This makes my heart leap with happy memories. I'm 79 and my grandpa worked for railroad. We used to go down to the train yards to see the black locomotives come in. He lived on a farm with trains going under a big wooden bridge by his front drive. We as children would stand on the bridge and trains would go under us chugging and blowing that steam whistle. These children must feel that same thrill when the trains go by...especially proud that daddy is conductor,/ engineer. I love it!! 🚂💕
@@carriebaker5161 for you both that will be cherished moment. Spending time with grand children is really fun time. Each others are best friends. That's what my father and his grand son are. They secure each other, when my sister is anger at her son, my father take grand son out from back yard without informing anyone and return back after some time 😁😁..
Don't know why trains are so fascinating at that age, I still remember the very first time I walked between the tracks and touched one of the track, it felt like I've achieved something significant, lol.
This video brings me to tears because this is just what my Grandfather did with me. He would park his car at the main crossing in downtown Geneva , Ohio and for what seemed like hours I would watch these trains go by blowing their horns as this little 6 year old kid watches in sheer joy. I'm 61 now and will never forget those beautiful memories.
My brother and I got to see the inside of a caboose as the train was dropping off cars at the grain elevator. This was over 60 years ago, but still a memory that has not faded.
Oh how cool!! I bet it was awesome!😃I remember as a little girl whenever my Dad and I would stop at a train crossing he would always say “Look for the caboose, that’ll be the end”. It’s a shame there aren’t cabooses anymore, at least not here😔
That was very nice! A precious moment in time! For the child : This is a whole lot different than the story books for kids. This train did not have a smiley face, and holy smokes, was a very seriously big and noise machine.. A true life experience!
OhioRailfanning Productions yes it did! I’ve never seen a child have such a fascination of trains! The first thing he wants to do when he comes to visit is go see the trains☺️
My grandfather did the same thing when I was little, He has been gone for 42 years now. But the MEMORIES I have, will be with me Forever! I now have a Grandson, and the Same MEMORIES with Him!
I remember doing this with both my grandpas and my dad. Now I do it with my dog. Mostly just military trains where I live - but I still get the same thrill when I hear those diesels crank up and the whistle at the crossings ❤❤❤🎶🇺🇸
My grandad did the same with me...but i lost that curiosity and eagerness because I grew up too soon. My unpredictable and peripatethic childhood made me grow up too soon. To this grandpa in this video if anything were to happen to his parents don't leave him alone. Take him to those train tracks no matter how old he grows because childhood is a short period what he remembers during those moments will be remembered for long.
Emotional, sometimes the simple things in life can make a big difference to others, especially so young. Memories. WE need little gestures like this more than ever right now. x
Spent literally thousands of hours alondside the rails when my son was growing up! He loved trains, and I loved every minute doing it with him. He will be 30 this yr '2024'. He is now a conductor, riding in the cabs. I occasioally drive a few miles to the rail line, just to wave as he passes!
My Dad worked as a switchman for the Burlington Northern and use to take me on his jobs running a freight from Cicero, Illinois to Gary Indiana. We would eat our lunches (dinner) together and ride in the "crummy"( Caboose) when they had them. It was a time that would always be close to my heart as I grew so close to my Dad. Your grandson will remember these times for the rest of his life. Cherish it....
Its a great feeling getting to know the engineers, conductors and other train personnel because they can pass on the great feeling of driving an Iron Giant
My Dad grew up in a Coal Mining town in West Virginia. He used to get up early in the morning and hop the train and ride it to the top of the hill, then get off, walk back down to the house and then go back to bed. He would already be dressed for school, too. I love trains because of him. I love planes because of him. He used to take me to watch airplanes take-off and land. There was a road that was near the airport (it's been gone for many years) where people would park their cars and watch the planes!! My Grandpa used to work for a railroad and he suffered an injury while working on the trains. I used to ask him to tell me that story over and over. I was so young and was fascinated by the story. What memories!! Happy New Year to EVERYONE!!
Thanks for uploading the video. There is no other pleasant experience in my lifetime greater than watching a train passing thru a countryside field, blowing its horn. Be it in India or be it in USA. Most exciting moments of my childhood were those when we use to take train journey to meet relatives living in some very distant places. First time traveling from Washington DC to NY we preferred a train journey over any other mode of transportation.
brought back my childhood memories. my grandpa used to carry me. for train-watching i would spend lot of to time watching them and grandpa (mom's dad) would patiently hold me all along :-)
Tam's Place I agree I just lost him in June they used to live in sunders settlement N.Y. and there was a csx thats in front of there old house and me and my grandma would watch it pass when I was little her grandpa was a fire man on a stream train also long ago
Reminds me of when me and my dad would go to the local rr crossing and watch the endless bnsf trains and I would be in awe of the size and speed, my dad is no longer with me but my love for rails never went away, great video👍
These are precious moments for grandpa and grandson! Times to remember...

Where were you guess at when the video was shot at?
Hopefully I can get a vest from the railroad lol
Wow what locomotive did you drive?
This is why humans must be born....to enjoy such simple things to make us happy.
A magical moment between and grandfather and a grandson.

Awww, thank you!☺️
I was going to say the same thing: Great memories with grandpa.
I never run a train but drove a truck 38 years and everytime a kid would show the honk your horn sign I would do it and to see them jump around made me happy! I miss those days
Omg! That’s so sweet! I remember doing the horn honk to truck drivers. I loved it when they honked!🥰Thank you!
@@TamsPlace you might be one I honk at I'm 63 and I drove all over the country
I often used to go with my dad ( a lorry driver in the UK ) on trips with him. Totally loved waving back to the kids that made the 'honk' sign. You could see it on their faces the delight it gave them :-)
Making sure that boy is happy❤🇺🇲👍
Best day ever for the little guy. One day this will probably be him behind the wheel of the train.
Best grandad ever.
Yes, they both loved it!☺️
@@TamsPlace
Glad to hear it.👍
watching the big trains go by with grandpa doesn't get any better than that
I'm right there with ya little man. To me, there is nothing sweeter than rhythm of a train. The music it sends out in the middle of the night, from the silence, is Heaven to my ears.
Amen Brother!

Just so asome seeing this you know there is hope in the world God be with your family Remer to love one another truly over and out
Best picture ever!, I love my grandbabies more than life itself.
🥰
I think all grandfathers are carriers of grand children to show trains.. even my father does the same to his grandchildren
Absolutely right
I will have to do it for my grandson. No grandfather's in his life.

Me too when i was child , everyday my grandma (RIP) taked me to the central station to watch trains run !

This brought a tear to my eye. The world can be so hostile lately, and here a Real man Grandpa brought his grandson to see trains. Very heartwarming.
🥰
By the the look on Grandads smiling face I feel the Grandson cam by it honestly. love yall
I love videos like this....the look of sheer delight on a kiddies face is the best tonic you could wish for !
Good some day we gonna need this boy to run this train
This is why UP has such great reviews.
That was an NS train with a UP leader
it wasn’t a UP train
UP is fat as hell
LOL
0:20 probably made the kids day
OhioRailfanning Productions yes it did! I’ve never seen a child have such a fascination of trains! The first thing he wants to do when he comes to visit is go see the trains☺️
Tam's Place yup exactly
Gotta love "ole Granpops" and the "kid", watchin' the train go by! And that first "engine driver" had a nice salute !
This is exactly how my dad and his dad got me hooked on Trains.
I bet it placed a smile on the face of the train driver as well.
I hope it did!🥰
Damn that was a nice hornshow the UP Engineer gave the little guy!
Yes! Definitely a highlight of his train watching!🥰
It must be great for little kids to watch themselves in these videos after years. These videos hold precious memories and happiness.
Yes, great memories!🥰
Boy: Do it again
Grandpa: Sorry grandson it's not that easy
Boy: oh ya watch this!
God bless that little guy, he LOVE trains
My grandfather did the
same thing when I was
little, He has been gone
for 42 years now. But
the MEMORIES I have,
will be with me Forever!
I now have a Grandson,
and the Same MEMORIES
with Him!
Awww, how sweet!☺️

Yes we do! I agree☺️
I love it when tears of joy come to my eyes.
Awww☺️
Our first grandson and I did this too. Very enjoyable way to spend good times.
Trains have always been a fascination for kids and dads alike.
You can sure see grandpa's genes in that little fella.
This just melts your heart..a trainfan for life!
Let him always feel loved and special.

You’re exactly right! I’m sure the engineers and conductors know him now! He even had an engineer give him a Norfolk Southern hat!🥰He was so excited!
That was a Super Extra Special Honk of the Horn from a Very Cool Union Pacific Engineer.👍👍👍
Yes it was and he loved it🥰
Grammas do this too! My great grandson and I love trains😄
Those are memories he will remember his whole life. I remember watching trains at my grandparents house when I was about his age
