The weather warmed up a bit this weekend, so Mark and I took a 30 minute walk at Reid Park. More children were there than our last visit on a late Christmas Eve afternoon, so the train was running. I remember riding such a train at Santa's Village by Dundee, Illinois when I was growing up and loved waving to the passersby as if I were going on a real trip. About once a year, usually during the holidays, we did take Milwaukee Road train from Elgin to Chicago to see the decorated windows at Marshall Fields. That is a sweet memory. What children's train memories do you have?
All aboard...!
