Thomas the Tank

I hope lots of American kids are watching PBS. It is probably there only chance (currently) to learn about trains, via Thomas and all the other animated trains. In real life I fear they never have a chance to interact with trains.

It will be important for the next generation to understand the value of trains at an early age. Now that $3.00/gallon ($0.97/liter, for some of us) gas is quickly disappearing, this upcoming generation will return to trains for transportation.

Learning that we let the railroad system deteriorate to its current condition will be a much greater shock to them than finding out the truth about Santa Claus.
