Family Day at VIA Rail

Daddy's company, VIA Rail, organized a Family Day at their maintenance facility here in Toronto. It was really an exciting day for all the kids since they had the chance to visit a real train yard. Of course there were other fun attractions like the bouncy castle, clowns, barbecue, ice cream, etc. But knowing Tonicci's love for trains - nothing compared to being inside the locomotive cabin and getting to try the train simulator that  locomotive engineers actually use for training!
