Passenger Trains > Happy Father’s Day

Friday was my last day of work for my now former employer of 24 years.  We were visiting my in-laws in Simi Valley for the week and I decided we needed donuts Friday to celebrate my last day.  As I was loading my youngest two in the car, we heard a train horn, so continuing a tradition of chasing trains that my Dad started with me when I was little, we hustled to the end of Yosemite and watched an LA bound Metrolink head towards the Santa Susana tunnel.  After grabbing donuts and groceries, I checked the Transit app and the next LA bound train was due in a few minutes.  We parked at Simi station and walked up to the platform to watch the train come in. The engineer gave the kids a friendly toot-toot on the horn and a big wave which they loved!  Wish I had a video of that, but snagged a photo of the dynamic duo as the train departed.  

Happy Father's Day to all the dads and father-figures out there, hope you had a nice day.

Good looking boys, who need your fatherly guidance and touch!

Very nice!  Thanks for sharing.

That's cute!

That photo, along with the story, really brought a huge smile to my face - way to go, dad!!!

Love this picture!

Thoughtful photo!  Hope your sons continue the train chasing tradition when they are adults.
Happy Fathers Day!

 Awesome! Especially the donuts part! BIG pat on the back for doing family man type of stuff with your kids. They grow up fast. I hope that this is one of many track adventures for you all.

Good job Dad!  Took my two boys out often, especially to Fullerton and San Juan Cap.

The excited looks on their faces says it all!
