The walk in White Rock is never complete without an encounter with a train. On this day it was an Amtrak passenger train, but usually it is a very long and cumbersome freight train. My good friend Michael is a security officer on the train system in London, England. He tells stories of catching fare evaders with video surveillance and lots of legwork. He would have lots of work here on our Skytrains as it is operated on the honour system. As we all know, there is not a lot of honour in some folks these days.
We have taken our grandsons here for their first close encounters with a train, and now that we have Liam, there will be more trips in the future, to watch the trains. Maybe I have never grown up because I love them as much as the little boys do.
