Abby's First Train Ride!

The brand new Godbold Transportation Center (train and bus station) opened this week with a celebration and ribbon cutting.  It's a very big deal for Brookhaven, the project has been in the works for many years and it is finally completed.   Papa and Granna thought it would be really fun to be the first passengers to board the Amtrak at the new station and they asked Abby to come along for the ride!  I don't know who was more excited about the adventure -- Abby or Papa!!!  (except that Abby is not a fan of train whistles!).

Rolling into the new station!

All aboard!!!!

Abby and Granna in the lounge car enjoying a lovely snack. 

She loved the train ride! 

I met the trio in McComb.  Here they are pulling in the downtown station!!

A little help from the conductor!

Big wave!!!  Big day!!

Train Lovers!

Abby, in the McComb station's museum, telling me ALL about the big train trip!   Abby enjoyed the museum, especially pulling the cord to blow the whistle.

She made sure I knew they rode in a passenger car, not the engine.  She's definitely Papa's little train buddy!!   What an exciting train adventure with Papa & Granna!
