Riding the Train!




On Saturday, we finally took a trip with the Waterloo Central Railway. We see the station at Waterloo Park quite regularly and can hear the train whistle from our house and the boys (mostly Jacob) are always asking to go on the "St. Jacobs Train". Last week, the boys started swimming lessons and we were driving by the train daily, so I finally ordered some tickets!

It was a bit of a dreary day and I had the wrong lens on my camera (so all the pictures are super close up!) but we had a great day. 

Checking out the train before leaving. 
Looking at the engine? Oh, maybe it's the caboose?
Jacob with his ticket.
He was NOT happy waiting, he just wanted on the train.

Finally! We are on the train!
Norah loved it too.
A view from the inside.
 The train leaves Waterloo Park and makes two stops. One at the market and one in the village of St. Jacobs. Since we go to the market often, we decided to ride right to the village on this trip.
He was very happy.

Lunchtime in St. Jacobs.

Here comes the train!
