Humor Keeps the Train Going

Today on the train...the train conductor gave us a giggle. Just as the train was pulling away from a station, she got on the speaker that you can hear inside and outside the train and said, "Busted!"

We all looked around to see what she was talking about and saw a whole group of sheriffs checking people's tickets, making sure that everyone paid for their ride.

I like when the conductors interact with the passengers, even if it is just via the intercom. It must get lonely and boring being in the little box where they drive, going back and forth on the same track all day. What better way to entertain yourself than make the passengers laugh.

There is another driver that has a real deep voice and every once in a while he'll have some fun with us. He'll say "All aboard!" and then make the door closing beep sound like real "choo choo".

If I were a train conductor I think I would have as much fun as possible, obviously while keeping the train safe, but what better way to spread positivity than by entertaining a whole train full of people!
