what made you like trains?

NYCboy

gettin bored of trainz
what made you like trains? was it from its screching or its ability to run on electricity or how its not effective to the earth(except for steam trains)?

The reason i like trains was because it was the very first vehicle i rode.(as i can only remember).and its clickt-clack noise.and its doors and it can operate for people.

so post here what mode you like trains!:D ;)
 
NYCboy,

Same as Zwabberaar, but I'll say it a little bit nicer:

I was born in Brooklyn...I liked the sounds (not the smells) of the subway. We used to ride the El train to Coney Island. Even now when we visit Family on Long Island, we pass by looking for the trains....:cool:

They're so big, so noisy and so fast. What kid could fail to be impressed by them? The steamers were even better. :p

Oh yes and I had the Tank Engine Thomas books from a very early age (the mid 1950s). :hehe:

NYC in the 70's was a homeless person paradise... they were all over. they lived in the subway area...needless to say, when nature calls, they answered all over the place. it was very dirty place to be. Looking around today, its much nicer, still has elements of the litter, homeless, etc...but NOT nearly.

Thats exactly waht started me off,Thoams the Tank Engine and Friends:hehe: :o :D
But I do honestly think that a lot of use ended up here because of that:)
 
Every kid I've ever seen has been at least somewhat fascinated by trains. Some of us just hold on to that fascination past age 7 or 8 :p

For me, it was my grandpa. He liked trains, and I went everywhere with him, so it just kinda rubbed off on me, I suppose.
