  12-year-old John Thomas Robertson is a born train fan."I've liked trains probably from the day I was born " he told Good Morning America."When I was very little " he said "my grandpa got me a train model.I would just watch it go round for hours and hours."

  When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train he felt great.His journey was so mind-blowing that he couldn't keep it to himself:he decided to take all his classmates to go on a ride with him.When he found that some of his classmates couldn't pay the fare he collected cans(罐子)and bottles and raised more than $1 000 for them.

  That trip was such a happy one that he made it a yearly action."It never gets boring for some reason; it's just fun " he said."It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun."

  Every October Robertson takes a new group of children to ride on the train -but now he has a problem.Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible(可用的)to disabled people."He was angry to think that children of his own age couldn't ride a train " his mother said.

  But he wouldn't say no:he recently sent a letter to the train office for help.To his surprise the leader Ty Pennington accepted the letter in person.He said that he and his workers would work on making a train accessible to disabled people.
