#55 WAS FUN,EXCITING,

Unusual,SIMPLY SPECTACULAR

ZOO TRAIN ENGINEER for the day

It was a very special Fathers day gift given to me by my children that was blessed with a perfect weather day. The gift became extra special as my three children,six grandchildren and others were able to share the moment with me.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORY

I was blessed with an hour more than my instructions called for and i lost count of the train trips but at least six and maybe seven.I was an announcer,whistle blower,ticket taker, and I am sworn to secrecy about actually driving the train.

The day begins with a series of checks on the equipment.





My main guy was engineer Frank





















Bob the conductor and Frank the

The surprise of the day was seeing Todd as I had no idea he was in or coming to town.

He is featured with his friend Sarah and her friend Emily.

I guess he came in to be a part of #55.!!!!!!!
It was a WOW!!!!! experience and certainly number one of the first fifty five.
