I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…
When I was a child, I was enthralled by the story of the little train pulling all of the cars full of toys over the hill. As an adult, it is no less a part of my life – not just because I have children who love the story also, but because it’s actually a good reminder that when we face our fears and push through, we can accomplish great things.

I would love to travel to Maine…Reasons: it would be a very long train ride across the U.S. and I’ve never been to Maine!
I would love to travel to Canada along the Eastern Seabord. I can’t even begin to imagine how beautiful the scenary is!
My parents went on a cruise to Alaska a few years ago. Part of the trip involved a train through Alaska. I would love to go on a train trip through Alaska. I bet it’s breathtaking.
We’d love to travel by rail through the Smokey Mtns. from south to north and back again!
In a perfect world, I would love to travel across the map and visit every single city of the globe by train. This dream of exploring all the diverse cultures and peoples would eventually help me pinpoint the hardships communities are facing. Ultimately, I would love to help every single community in the world and restore the world back to its happy self, with the people inhabiting it being even happier. That is where I would love to travel by train if I got the opportunity. Thank you everyone and especially Mrs. Sarah B for all that you do and instilling joy and happiness into children by ways of “A Little Engine That Could” in hopes for a better generation and better world.
Sincerely,
Tony Ibrahim
I’d like to travel to Hershey Park. Thanks for the chance.
Well my little family and I are still stationed overseas, (and my 2 & 1/2 year old son is totally in LOVE with trains) but I would love to send my nieces and nephews in Washington to Minnesota to see their Grandpa, whom they haven’t seen in over five years now. They don’t have the funds to make the trip there themselves.
