Alvin All-Star Railroad (AASRR)

This site documents an educational experience designed to teach social studies, local history, and science content to a third (3rd) grade class under the umbrella of railroading. My wife was the classroom teacher, and my Dad did nearly all of the prep work for the HO layout. When my wife moved the follownig year to second grade, this unit didn’t fit in so well, so it went on hold. Hopefully we’ll get back to it some day.

All Aboard!
The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie
