Do you remember when you were riding in the car? Your father was driving. You came upon a railroad crossing, and the lights started flashing. The crossing gates came down. You heard the horn, and the locomotives came rolling by. You counted each car as it passed. You saw the caboose, and you knew that there were no more cars to count. Your father put the car in park, and you continued on your way.
Do you remember when your father took you to a train station or a busy railroad line? You sat down on the bench or stood near the track. You may have had a nearby railroad signal to check to see whether or not a train was on its way. You listen for the sound, and you got excited at the train rolled on by. After the train passed by, you waited for the next train. When it finally came, you got excited again as it went by. "The essential to budget travel is to prepare ahead. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our thoughts. Arranging and spending our travel budget wisely is a consideration for most families. Curbing spending and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain accomplishment and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind saving money while touring is simple: Even if your personal budget is incredibly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel costs!..". You may have been at a junction where trains were stopped to wait for the tracks to clear, and you stood and watched until the train was finally able to go.
Do you remember when your father bought you your first train set or toy train? You ripped open the box, and you pulled it out. You laid out the tracks, and you watched the train roll around.
For many years fathers have been taking their sons to see trains, and some fathers still do this to this very day. As you enjoy watching the trains, take some time to remember the man who introduced you to them.
