Hi! My name is Elliot. I was 4 and I loved the trains. Then it was my 5th birthday and I still loved trains. Then it was my 6th birthday then I still loved trains. My brother likes trains, too. His name is Conner.
I am a cute boy. I love trains! And, maybe we can ride a train because we want to go on one of the safest tracks that you can stand on. So you can see one of the trains. I was 4 and I love trains. Then when it was my 6th Birthday and I still love trains. And I loved this kind of train. It was number 9. I saw on the computer a very old train.
I have lived in St.Thomas my whole life and I have always enjoyed watching the trains move about through out the town. I also have a big passion for the ships that sail up and down the Great Lakes as well I know they aren't really train related but my uncle used to work in the Collingwood Ship Yards. I look at the older Steam Powered Freighters the Same way you guys view the Steam Powered Locomotives. So basically what I'm Saying is that when I not watching freighters I'm watching the locomotives here at home. Without trains St.Thomas wouldn't be what it is today and I don't know what I would do with out them either! They have truely been a very big part of my life and I'll never get enough of them! Bye for now!
