I think it's because they're loud and run on tracks and different every time.

My son has probably never seen Thomas, but he goes ape every time he sees a train.

Question should be why would anyone not love trains. They're really huge and cool.

The cabooses were such great and classic train cars. Sad they were phased out by electronic devices.

My grandpa retired from the railroad. He had a toy train set that we used to play with when I was a kid. Fun times.

There was a train track right by my house growing up. We used to put pennies on the track. Never once caused a derailment so I know that is a myth.
