It's amazing how technology, specifically video, has been able to capture precious moments in life that might otherwise be lost or at the very least preserved only in your memory.  Here's one of those moments when a young boy and his mom are standing alongside a railroad track when something special happens.

The engineer of a passing freight train happens to be the little boy's dad and the expression on the boy's face when he realizes who's driving the train is just adorable.  And I'm sure his father being able to see the video will be a life-long treasure.  It's something that will make you smile.

The video of the Western New York boy was featured on America's Funniest Home Videos website.
