Ok, I'll play, too. Here's my little railfan at the 2017 Opening Day of the Houston Area Live Steamers.
We live 40 yards from a UP line. Most of our daily commute is along a UP line. And, the window in his room at school looks out on a UP line about 30 yards away. His days are filled with trains and he loves 'em. It'll be a few more years before he can make the thousand mile trek to Chama and Durango with me... but that day is coming. He's been a paid member of the Friends since he was a month old!
