Get them on the train!
We just had a baby boy – our third. Big brother Boaz and big sister Dalya were joined on 6 January by little Isaac. Evidently, it’s Jason who is writing this blog entry as Bill’s wife would be very surprised to hear that she now has three children.
In our family we have a tradition. When each kid is six weeks old, he or she takes their first ride on a VIA train. On 20 February, at the ripe old age of 44 days, Isaac was put on the train to Brockville. The rest of the family came too.
This kid follows after his father’s heart. He was underwhelmed by the Renaissance cars…
…but he was very excited by the LRC. So excited, actually, that when I tried to get him to look out the window he was more interested in studying the seat back detail. I think he plans to scratchbuild some more modern LRC seats for his fleet because his daddy’s seats will be too old school for him.

Whenever we go to Winnipeg (once or twice a year), we take the train. Some people talk about their “once-in-a-lifetime” trip on The Canadian. Our kids can talk about their “most recent” trip on The Canadian and they are always looking forward to their next one.
