Why do people, especially kids, love trains?

I remember when I was a kid in school and we used to sneak out of class and hide just below a hill behind the school where teachers could not see us.
There were train tracks nearby and we used to wait for trains and wave at the engineers. Every time, they waved back. We loved trains when we were small and there seems to be some sort of romance about them
I guess because they are going somewhere far away that will always remain a mystery unless you are on board.
Do you have a train story to share??

I don't really have a train story. I do remember the train tracks when I was young but they got rid of them now. I think what I liked about trains were they were so big and powerful, bigger than buses and cars.

My husband drives the largest toy train around, he is a monorail driver at Disney World.
