Train Station Field Trip!

 

 We sat down and watched a movie about railways in our area and in Canada. I learned somethings and I quietly repeated some of the film to Austyn to keep his interest. Each child was given a post card to take home with a picture of the train station on the front.

 After the film we explored the station and Kev read about trains to Austyn.

 Once we were finished in the station we went outside in the rain to go inside a caboose. 

 There was a model train set up.

There were two telegraph machines set up so the kids could be at either end of the caboose and send messages to each other in morse code. Austyn still remembers reading about Thomas Edison and using the telegraph sparked an interest in making one of our own. I have looked up the instructions and am planning on getting the materials we need to make them at home.
