I was a train driver for over 20 years, nothing makes a bad day on the rail better, by putting a smile on a kids face,with a musical horn show! Even if their eardrums disagree🤣👍😎🇦🇺

The other day we were watching the local CSX train work outside of Winder, GA and the engineer noticed we were riding along and watching. Saw my 2 year old in her car seat, waved at her and blew the horn a few times. Made all of our day. Those little extra steps are awesome, and I'm 34 lol

This is why humans must be born....to enjoy such simple things to make us happy.

What an adorable boy, a terrific granddad! It's simple things like this that make the most cherished memories. That first horn was awesome!

I drive electric units in Auckland, New Zealand. I always make sure to give a wave and a toot when I see people waving. Sometimes I’m lucky to see their reaction. I think it makes both of our days.

I never run a train but drove a truck 38 years and everytime a kid would show the honk your horn sign I would do it and to see them jump around made me happy! I miss those days

Best day ever for the little guy. One day this will probably be him behind the wheel of the train. Best grandad ever.

I'm right there with ya little man. To me, there is nothing sweeter than rhythm of a train. The music it sends out in the middle of the night, from the silence, is Heaven to my ears.

the grandad giving the grandson a lifetime of survival knowledge in just an instant.... powerful stuff... thanks for the upload... greetings from tasmania

This reminded me of my childhood...I would even got up at 5.00am in the darkness, walked 2 miles to the train station, just to see those majestic locomotives puffed their way in and out among the colourful signal lights.

Awwww. I’m glad he got that amazing horn show.

What a loving grandpa this is so heart warming..! 💕🚊

What a great grandad, , cherished memories for you both.

This is why UP has such great reviews.

I think all grandfathers are carriers of grand children to show trains.. even my father does the same to his grandchildren

He will never forget them days.

This makes my heart leap with happy memories. I'm 79 and my grandpa worked for railroad. We used to go down to the train yards to see the black locomotives come in. He lived on a farm with trains going under a big wooden bridge by his front drive. We as children would stand on the bridge and trains would go under us chugging and blowing that steam whistle. These children must feel that same thrill when the trains go by...especially proud that daddy is conductor,/ engineer. I love it!! 🚂💕

Don't know why trains are so fascinating at that age, I still remember the very first time I walked between the tracks and touched one of the track, it felt like I've achieved something significant, lol.

Boy: Do it again Grandpa: Sorry grandson it's not that easy Boy: oh ya watch this!

1:18 The glow in that little toddler's eye was brighter than the light on the train!! Grandpa, thank you for bringing another promising member to the railfanning club...Welcome buddy.

How special, a Grandfather and his Grandson. Now that's that's cute. I hope someone was taken pictures. 🇺🇸♥️😊👍

Used to do this with my now 41 & 43 year old sons! What wonderful, simple memories!

the only way to overcome anxiety is watching trains ♥️

Me too when i was child , everyday my grandma (RIP) taked me to the central station to watch trains run !

Just so asome seeing this you know there is hope in the world God be with your family Remer to love one another truly over and out

My brother and I got to see the inside of a caboose as the train was dropping off cars at the grain elevator. This was over 60 years ago, but still a memory that has not faded.

0:20 probably made the kids day

Best picture ever!, I love my grandbabies more than life itself.

HE IS ADORABLE! Love those baby checks! So bright and excited. Thank you!

This video brings me to tears because this is just what my Grandfather did with me. He would park his car at the main crossing in downtown Geneva , Ohio and for what seemed like hours I would watch these trains go by blowing their horns as this little 6 year old kid watches in sheer joy. I'm 61 now and will never forget those beautiful memories.

That was very nice! A precious moment in time! For the child : This is a whole lot different than the story books for kids. This train did not have a smiley face, and holy smokes, was a very seriously big and noise machine.. A true life experience!

Damn that was a nice hornshow the UP Engineer gave the little guy!

This brought a tear to my eye. The world can be so hostile lately, and here a Real man Grandpa brought his grandson to see trains. Very heartwarming.

Gotta love "ole Granpops" and the "kid", watchin' the train go by! And that first "engine driver" had a nice salute !

By the the look on Grandads smiling face I feel the Grandson cam by it honestly. love yall

Absolutely love the high 5 toward the end🖐🏼brings a smile to my face😃

Let him always feel loved and special.

いいなあ。運転士さん、合図してる！おじいさんとお孫さん、ほのぼのするなあ。😊

This just melts your heart..a trainfan for life!

Making sure that boy is happy❤🇺🇲👍

It must be great for little kids to watch themselves in these videos after years. These videos hold precious memories and happiness.

You can sure see grandpa's genes in that little fella.

E o vovô todo contente, só alegria.

Funny train driver is a gift! 🤣💖

Grammas do this too! My great grandson and I love trains😄

So sweet. It's the little things...

My grandad did the same with me...but i lost that curiosity and eagerness because I grew up too soon. My unpredictable and peripatethic childhood made me grow up too soon. To this grandpa in this video if anything were to happen to his parents don't leave him alone. Take him to those train tracks no matter how old he grows because childhood is a short period what he remembers during those moments will be remembered for long.

I remember doing this with both my grandpas and my dad. Now I do it with my dog. Mostly just military trains where I live - but I still get the same thrill when I hear those diesels crank up and the whistle at the crossings ❤❤❤🎶🇺🇸

That was a Super Extra Special Honk of the Horn from a Very Cool Union Pacific Engineer.👍👍👍

The big meet SD70ACE, K5LLA horn does it again made the kids day

Bruh I can't stop watching this it's so gooood love it

Good some day we gonna need this boy to run this train

My grandfather did the same thing when I was little, He has been gone for 42 years now. But the MEMORIES I have, will be with me Forever! I now have a Grandson, and the Same MEMORIES with Him!

Little, cute railwayman!

Making memories! Very precious!

Our first grandson and I did this too. Very enjoyable way to spend good times.

GREAT I also like the trains. Cute child and nice granddad

Emotional, sometimes the simple things in life can make a big difference to others, especially so young. Memories. WE need little gestures like this more than ever right now. x

Spent literally thousands of hours alondside the rails when my son was growing up! He loved trains, and I loved every minute doing it with him. He will be 30 this yr '2024'. He is now a conductor, riding in the cabs. I occasioally drive a few miles to the rail line, just to wave as he passes!

I bet it placed a smile on the face of the train driver as well.

Great video! I’m a truck driver and the children always ask me to blow my horns. It’s priceless.

Its a great feeling getting to know the engineers, conductors and other train personnel because they can pass on the great feeling of driving an Iron Giant

Beautiful day with beautiful little prince.👍

Great. Just amazing

Now THAT is a great...grandpa.

So sweet.

Feeling Nostalgic my grandfather used to take me to rail station track when i was a kid 40 years before 😍😍😍

My Dad worked as a switchman for the Burlington Northern and use to take me on his jobs running a freight from Cicero, Illinois to Gary Indiana. We would eat our lunches (dinner) together and ride in the "crummy"( Caboose) when they had them. It was a time that would always be close to my heart as I grew so close to my Dad. Your grandson will remember these times for the rest of his life. Cherish it....

Love Trains,so Magical

This is heartwarming to me because I like to watch trains

That is just really nice !!!

Maybe she'll grow up to take somebody's place and keep these trains rolling down the line. So glad the powers that be are keeping the industry going.

God bless that little guy, he LOVE trains

Super ! Pozdrowienia z Polski !

Isso me faz chorar. Meu pai trabalhava na ferrovias do sul do Brasil. Eu cresci ao lado da estação de Itararé. Meu pai se foi em 2012. Tenho 55 anos agora e o trens correm ainda dentro de mim. Feliz natal a todos.

Loving grandpa cute baby n big train....love to see them again n again ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Bless you all.

that little boy is a cutie.

I love this. It reminds me of my childhood.

Love it.

Reminds me when my grandfather used to take me down to Union Station where we lived to watch the trains come in and out.

Aw what a handsome little man 😉

My dad was a C&O engineer. My mother and I would drop him off at the railyard dispatchers office then head out to a crossing to watch his train. As he passed by, he'd throw out the window a fusee with a ten dollar bill wrapped around it and we'd go to McDonald's for lunch. My fondest memory of my dad was the day he took me for a ride and let me blow the horn! Now I'm 72 and still stop for every train I see. And when I hear a horn in the distance, I like to think it's my dad saying, "Hello".

Thanks for uploading the video. There is no other pleasant experience in my lifetime greater than watching a train passing thru a countryside field, blowing its horn. Be it in India or be it in USA. Most exciting moments of my childhood were those when we use to take train journey to meet relatives living in some very distant places. First time traveling from Washington DC to NY we preferred a train journey over any other mode of transportation.

LOVELY!

A very happy moment!

I worked for NS Railroad for 25 yrs and did not like hearing the train whistle blow except when we were blowing the whistle for kids.

Priceless memories being made right there!

Fantástico, lindo bebé, saludos desde Chile

Love it to see friendly crew having a great day
