🎉 thank you for the awesome video again. In the year 2000 I found out that my family had a namesake town in Virginia. It was an old map in National geographic right near the Appalachian trails. I have to go find it but I lived in Canada and British Columbia on the Pacific coast. I was married and didn't have permission to run away. But I own the business and I was tired and I got mad one day and I took my car to Seattle and I got a sleeper train 2 West Virginia because that's where I thought the town would be. When I got to West Virginia I went into a cafe and a couple of postmen looked at my ancient map and said it looks like it could be in Virginia. The state has split in two remember. So I have the amazing experience of renting a car and driving through the rolling Hills of West Virginia South to Virginia. I had two days before I had to get back on a train and go home. The first night I had two hotels because I booked one went out on the road and end up kept going. Finally I arrived in Marion Virginia. My town was still there at 5 miles. Groseclose, Virginia. It is now on the map by the way again. It has a museum an old store with an old man and a lot of junk. An amazing tea house with pastry and tea and warm soup. A large cemetery filled with Grosecloses. I saw many of their houses that they maintained. There is a gas station with a young man who has no idea what I'm talking about. My family arrived in Virginia in 1750 from Germany. Peter senior picked up a wife in Norway and here they came.
My train ride was awesome. I want to get on a train again so bad it hurts. That's all I want to do. Ride around in a train looking at our glorious world with no noise about getting things done. 😂
4 years later by family had a 250 year reunion in West Virginia. I brought my aunties and my uncle and they were in their Glory. You can see them in this picture on my YouTube.
Sometimes we do things in Pennsylvania we think we're going to get in trouble. So we moved to Virginia. The government of America at the time really wanted my family to build Pennsylvania. But they liked Virginia better. ❤ It was like they were paid for their voyage and they took the money and ran 😂. They became the founding fathers of America.
Another nice video. I tend to take the IC trains in here and sit on the single side seats on the 2nd floor of the restaurant car. I think you know why 😉
VR rarely disappoints 😊❤
That little railcar is just too cute. I love railcars. It's like a bus, but without the disadvantages of a bus (which is mostly that it's a bus). 🙂
