Foo Foo Train

Foo was just passing by and noticed this train without a conductor. Foo wasted no time filling the role. He always loves to be in charge of the choo choos!

Prairie Life

Foo had met prairie dogs before, but never had he seen ones with such a posh environment with a sweet desert visit and their very own train. Lucky dogs!

Sub to the Way

Foo was excited to ride the New York subway, although it turned out to be a bit darker than he had expected. He did get to see his very first bigger-than-necessary subway rat.
Sadly the rat went away too quickly for a photo opportunity, but yay, the train was arriving!

New York Minute

When Foo finally emerged from the underground jungle of the train system, this was his very first view of New York.
Frankly, he was expect the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty, but he's not too good at geography. He'd have to settle for this intersection and start making his way to his friend Courtney's place some 40 blocks away!

Ticket to Ride

After the maze of trains and corridors in the airport, Foo finally got his ticket and found the right platform. He's ready to ride and get to the Big Apple!

Navigating Newark

Foo began his adventure toward New York City with a Airtrain ride to get to the other train to get into the city. Luckily he made it before the doors closed.
So far so good, but so far no skyscrapers and anything all that special about New York.

Farm Training

Foo wasn't entirely sure what to make of this new-fangled contraption he found at the Galveston Railroad Museum. It kinda looked like a train, kinda like a tractor.
Shrug. Whatever... it was still fun to drive!

Milkin' It

Foo just loved how much these pails were milking their time in the limelight next to the Railway Express Agency train. Foo just had to get in the middle to get his own piece of it as well.

Riding the Mail

During his adventures with the trains at the Galveston Railroad Museum, Foo was excited to find out that the mail car was originally from Illinois, Foo's home state!

Bon Voyage!

Even though Foo could find no food service, he was still excited about his train ride and went all the way to the caboose to way to the crowds as they pulled out of the station. Sadly the train didn't actually go anywhere... since it was a museum...

Dinner Delay

As Foo got accustomed to his surroundings on the train, he started to feel a little hungry so he hopped on over to the dining car. There was not wait at all for a table... but after 20 minutes and no waiter service, Foo got a little impatient.
He stormed back to the kitchen to give the cooks a piece of his mind... but the kitchen was all locked up and there was no food to be had. Shucks!

Comfy Compartment

When Foo finally found his compartment, he loved how cushy the seats were, and the room even came with its very own Foo bath! How generous!

Quite a Hall

Now that he'd tried his hand at driving the train, it was time for Foo to sit back and enjoy the ride. As he walked down the very narrow hallway on the old train, he even felt a little too big for the space. No big people on this train, for sure!

Foo's Control

After giving up on the idea of being the inside conductor of the train, when he saw this apparatus he knew he had found his spot! He jumped on up and delighted help control the ride in true Foo style!

Conductor Foo

After riding on a few of the cool trains, Foo had had enough of just being a passenger, so he jumped on up and got ready to take the controls.
But when he started to look around at what he needed to do to control the big iron beast, Foo had second thoughts. Although he did color coordinate well, he wasn't too confident with being tall enough to reach all the levers.

Near... Far..

When Foo first saw this train, #555, he wasn't quite impressed and wasn't sure how people would actually fit on it.
But wen he walked all the way down to it and jumped on board, he completely changed his tune, to a hearty, "Whoo Whooo..."

Foo Catcher?

Foo was so excited to ride the rails at the Galveston Railroad Museum that he jumped up onto the front of #314 to go for a ride. When he found out the front was called a cow catcher, though, he reassessed the safety of his seat... Nobody needs cows in their teeth.

Foo Needs a Hand

As much as Foo tried, he just could not get this manually powered rail car to move... Maybe he's just not heavy enough... or maybe it's because he doesn't have hand.

Elevated Memories

Although note quite as impressive as the train outside, this Astros train was elevated so it made Foo think of his old home in Chicago..... Frown...

In a Choo Choo Minute

Foo just loves trains, so he was excited to find this one outside Minute Maid Park in Houston. He thinks they've got it kind of wrong, though. If it has a cage around it, it can't be a train... so then what is it?? Foo walked away saddened and confused.
