A nice story. Trains could also teach speed reading! Not to mention subtraction and addition and other simple math.
Looking at the names and words on boxcars as a train passed at a crossing used to be a way to help learn geography. Nowadays you're more likely to see TILX or FURX instead of Bangor & Aroostock or Baltimore & Ohio.

What an interesting idea! I love it.
Can I see a photo of the train?
I'll see if I can later this weekend.
Jack Sheldon would be proud!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
