Auntie Karen and her poodles got this awesome bone dog toy for Bear and he adores it! Being a train operator we are locked in our cabs and don’t interact with people. Since I do the same run everyday and see the same people, I make eye contact as I am pulling into the platforms and smile and wave at people. I have gotten to know my regular riders that way! I always have a stuffed animal in my window too to make them smile! I get to talk to some of my passengers at the end of the line. This morning one of my riders came up to my side window before boarding my train and he gave me this Beanie Buddy White Tiger. He said it is an original buddy! How kewl is that!!!!!! So here I was crying as I was going down the tracks because I have touched their lives and they in turn touch mine with this special gift!

This week, my sweet passengers gave me a scarf, 3 stuffed animals, gloves, treats! That is what makes my job so special! I am glad that I can touch their lives and make their day as they go to their destinations!
