Two from my young daughter *LINK*

Its always interesting to get young kids involved, and of course my daughter went on about every trip we did during here first 5-6 years.
Lets see, I remember being in Salt Lake City in 1991, and after chasing 844 and 3985 doubleheader from Cheyenne, we were near the old Rio Grande depot, and a block or so away was another UP 800
on display. We stopped to get some pictures, and
Heather(see was 3-4 years old), proclaimed..."look daddy, a statue engine in a cage" My thoughts exactly Heather!!!

In 1991 we were shooting Southern Rwy 4501 to Ashevill, NC on a little freight train, and met up with John Craft and his wife Danah at Asheville. We saw some diesels go by, and told Heather to call them "Puey Diesels",which she picked up really fast.
In 1994, Heather was just 7, and when I told her they terminated the Norfolk Southern steam program she said "Why aren't they going the run 611 any more?" I had no answer she would understand frankly!!! Leave it to kids to set us straight sometimes, eh!!
I still chuckle at "Statue engine in a cage"!!
