Trains.. they run in my family. Literally!! Many of my family has kept and still keeps trains going through out the United States! My beloved Pappa (Grandpa) was a train engineer and retired after over 30 years of service (supporting his family from the Depression Era until Retirement), my Dad and Uncle worked along side him when they were younger, even now my cousin Gary is a train man!! So when I created this cool, vintage and masculine card they came to mind and just in time for Father's Day!

I love all things vintage - especially when it comes to trains! With it being a family business - memories of my waving to the trains and holding my Pappa's hand as we watched them... it's a dear to my heart memory. It also goes to show that men never grow too old - that with that child at heart feeling they still find joy in trains!
