All Aboard!

People have odd ways of enjoying their hobbies. This guy I know is the only person I've ever met that gets excited when he hears a whistle blast and the guardrail comes down over the road. He springs out of the car, hoists a video camera to his bony shoulder and films the entire thing. While cars begin to honk, he fixes his railroad hat and restarts the car, oblivious to the threats and shaken fists of the people behind him, intoxicated with the steam locomotive engine he just saw. For the train-obsessed (and those who love them), there's a safer way to see the hulking beauties this weekend, when Dallas Union Station celebrates National Train Day. Come on down and see train cars, station platforms and all the other trappings of the wonderful world of trains. Union Station is located at 400 S. Houston St. Call 214-803-7285.
