UPRR

For those of you not from Milford, you wouldn't know that UPRR stands for Union Pacific Railroad. Growing up in Milford trains are just an everyday occurrence that you never think twice about. Since leaving Milford and then going back time to time and hearing the train horns in the distance, I kind of miss that. The railroad has been a big part of my family. Both of my grandpas worked on the railroad as well as my Dad does currently. When I was little, we would go down to the Depot when either of my grandpas or dad was coming home and watch their train pull in. They would wave from the engine and as little kids we thought it was so neat.

Last weekend I was in Milford and my Dad was on his way home from work. Kyla has never seen or been around trains before so we went down to the Depot (like old times) and waited for my Dad's train to pull in. You forget how big and loud they really are. As the train pulled in there was my Dad at the engine window waving at us. Kyla got a little nervous but all in all it was fun to take her and show her the "big choo choo".
