I used to believe that the trains in Thomas the Tank Engine were real, but rare and special, and that other trains were "regular" or "ordinary" trains that didn't have a face.

I used to believe the only purpose of shoes was to prevent your socks from getting dirty. Thanks to my mum's constant nagging!

I used to think that in order for a train to move that an airplane would have to fly over the train first!

I used to believe that when you flushed the toilet on a train, everything was just dumped onto the track. I was always careful not to use the bathroom while the train was stopped at a station.

I used to believe when I was young, if I walked across the rail road tracks I would be killed by the electricity.

When I was learning about the underground railroad in elementary school, I always imagined that it was really underground. I couldn't wait to, someday, go walk in the underground railroad.

I used to think that trains had a big eye on the front (the light) and they could see people along side of the track. My brother in law had me believing that trains would chase you through the yard and then leap back on the track if they wanted to. When my sister and her husband moved right beside a railroad track, I was terrified to go visit.

My Grandfather and dad were talking about the trains near his hometown when I was 6, and he said that "They can lift the empty carts onto the track with a pitchfork" and although now I'm pretty sure he meant to say forklift I spent the next few years thinking a farmer put train carts onto the track with his pitchfork.

When i was younger, and i didn't understand how trains and subways worked. i would never know how they could have one train going one way, and another train going the other.

i used to think that they had people waiting at the end of the track, to take the train off, and turn it around, so it could go back the way it just came from.

I thought the underground railroad was actually a subway.

I used to think they let people draw and write on the trains to make them pretty. (NYC in the 80's)Sra. Narcissa

When trains (subways) go underground, my little sister thought that the lights were shooting stars.

Katie

When i was young i lived close to traintracks... I use to believe that the train would crash into my house and would actually have nightmares about it. Since then the sound of trains give me the creeps

I have no idea where I got this, but I heard somewhere that if you stood on the train tracks, you would not be able to hear the train coming. It still scares me to cross the train tracks, though I'll do it just to prove myself wrong. (I'm 21!)

When I first rode the train at about 6 years old, my aunt told me they were each named for how much noise they made. For example, the "Q" train stood for "quiet" and the "R" train stood for "rambunctious"

I used to think trains were really high above the ground and moved at lightning speed. I had nightmares before my first train ride, thinking it would be more like a roller coaster.
