What you can look for a long time? Usually they say - burning fire and running water. I'll add to this - and on trains. Remember, as a child, something stood still in my soul, when I heard a long beep, and by a long shot composition, enveloping the hot wind from the exciting smell of oil? Remember how the evening, as if in slow motion frame, floated passenger cars with lighted Windows, taking away strangers and unknown fate? You may already have played with the child at all familiar games, have jumped, run enough and plenty threw pebbles into the river, and the soul still asks some amazing discoveries and experiences. Then go watch trains. You will get a lot of use (if you want to use) and a lot of fun (if the benefit for you - not the main thing).
If you're away from the station, or you are tired and don't want to take it, make yourself right where you can see the path. To come close, of course, is not necessary. By the way, this is a good occasion to explain, first, what is dangerous railroad tracks, why not to walk on the rails, and what is needed crossings and barriers, and, secondly, to direct example to comment on well-known lines: "great vision at a distance". Indeed, it is worth to get too close, and before my eyes are flickering car after car that failed to see. But getting away, you will can watch the movement of all trains or at least a significant part of it. Experiment with your child. Of course, holding his hand.
What interesting you can learn from watching the trains? For example, the trains are passenger and freight. There are also post-office, but they can be found rarely; more to the passenger train cling one-two post car. Show the child the coach. Let him to see how travel letters and parcels.
What cars are in a freight train? Normal indoor, open wagons, platforms, tanks. What are you taking in cars and on platforms, it is seen - timber, coal, gravel, cars, agricultural machinery. What lurks in covered wagons and tanks can only guess or learn by inscriptions on them. Most of all - grain and oil. But you can dream up. Can be with your child to invent a tale about a Little Strong Trailer, resposive chocolates with a confectionery factory, and his girlfriend Cheerful Red Tank filled with flour for baking.
The child who can count, you can offer to count the cars. You can consider them in a row, or in groups of three tanks, four brown wagon, six platforms... and, for the past five brown cars! You can put on earth conditional icons corresponding to each type of passing car, and then to count them after the tail of the train disappears from view.
What is the difference between a passenger train from commodity? No, not only the fact that they serve the people, not goods. Passenger trains run on schedule. And again today in 18-50 you saw a passing passenger train, then tomorrow you can go specifically to the same time and see the same train again. Or not to see if this train runs not every day, but, for example, only the even number or, say, only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Train involves a lot of detective stories. So in the story of Agatha Christie tells about the criminal who claimed to have gone on the train. However, he was seen near the crime scene, and behind him was a swirling cloud of smoke from the trains. Therefore, on the train he did not, because according to the schedule of other trains at this time was not.
If were talking about the schedule, has the meaning still to reach the station or station. And look at this schedule with your own eyes. To find out which trains and where they go. What are the city and how they relate to your city. Before a city can be reached directly, and some only with change. Before a city can be reached in just one night, as to what to go two and a half days.
If the station is small, some trains can on it and not stop. Pass by faster. About these trains you not learn from the schedule. But if your child is curiosity and patience, you can make your own schedule and then casually talk to the neighbors: "half past five? Yeah, I'll be fine soon "Moscow-Tashkent".
Maybe next to you is not the station, and the platform for commuter trains. Or electric, if you call them "realistic". The platform also has a schedule. It differs from the schedule of passenger trains. Do not specify the time of Parking, no fundamental values of number of trains, many duplicate names endpoints, specified intermediate stops or platforms on which these trains do not stop.
Cars trains too different from the cars of passenger trains. Tell the child that they are not lying places, there is no distinction between coupe, no tables for meals (children are often interested in these tables), no wires, doors open and close automatically.
What interesting things can be seen at the station, if she is still there? At the station there are always service ticket. Try to look in the window and see automated service or not, whether there computer as the cashier know about free places: through a centralized system or by telephone, as issuing tickets.
At the station there is usually a waiting room. If the station is small, then it's a few long benches, if more rows are fastened seat. Explain to your child why it is that people sometimes have to wait for the train - large "window" between bus and train, for example, or the train is late (Yes, it happens). About the delay of trains announced on radio station - you will have an opportunity to hear this announcement. Not happen the better. It means that all trains are on schedule, not lost.
And here is another ad, planned: "the Train number so-and-so, a route that arrives at the second path... ". Please note child how, on hearing this announcement, people hurried to get up, to collect things and decisively routed to the platform. Because Parking can be short and have to get in the car and make the Luggage.
Leave you. Walk on the platform. Look at the standing and arriving trains. On station women with buckets of apples and pans with hot boiled potatoes and pickles. For passengers, Wyspowy of cars outside, kneading his stiff legs and greedily Downing "bread and circuses" - ice cream stalls and newspaper kiosks. On the mourners and greeters. Where else would you see so much joy and so much sadness at the same time? So many kisses and so many tears? And how many reasons for children's "why? "
If the station is a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks, be sure to go up at him. Baby will love to look at the tracks and cars from the top. Pay attention to the "arrow" on how the paths converge and diverge. The travel of walkers, prostokvasha hammer wheel "system check heating control of books. Four of the genitive in a row, by the way.
Watch the way back the train pulling away. Push, pause, slow acceleration, faster, faster... and then the train is becoming less and less like dissolves away. Only heard dimensional smooth wheels. Soothing and reminiscent sleep. It's time to go home.
And in the morning you can play trains. You don't need anything complicated, just a fantasy. Buy a couple dozen of match-boxes and a couple of rolls of toilet paper. Toilet paper can be a really good tracks, and that's convenient, you can pull whatever you like, in all directions, without wasting time on fancy buildings. And an empty box of matches will be cars that you can chain between the clips or simply twigs. In the open part of the "platform" - you can pour the sand, rocks, sticks as forest or... a little barley or some other most desired cereals in grain quality. Midway from the rolls can be tanks. And a broken blade will turn into a great barrier.
