Seeing the cool model train exhibits at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and Hartsfield-Jackson airport 3.) reading an excellent series on modern coal trains in the New Yorker. And now, of course, I have this great pic by Ward to add to the list!Darinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603508816393319439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1133303176502126542005-11-29T14:26:00.000-08:002005-11-29T14:26:00.000-08:00Trains up here on the prairies are a sight to beho...Trains up here on the prairies are a sight to behold. I used to draw them as a little kid on rolls of adding machine paper and they'd run for like, 20 or 30 feet across the floor.<BR/><BR/>btw, Ward: I think I posted this before, but thatnks for the shoutout.

I was steam train mad as a kid, and the sound of a train whistle still reminds me of childhood holidays at my Grandparents. They lived one side of a valley, and along the other ran a railway. I used to sit and watch them pulling in and out, leaving a huge trail of steam behind them. Very cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
