TRAINS!!!! (The topic) (Calling @PooltoyWolf)

11

@PooltoyWolf I blame you for not enough train talk.

I love the diesel of the day thing even tho I have yet to read them. I intend to.

But how about trains in general? History? Lore? Culture?

(Disclosure: one of my grandfathers was a Santa Fe engineer, roundhouse foreman, and derailment specialist. He was already quite elderly when I was born, and I now completely regret that I was a typical modern child, fascinated by the new, and that I did not get how much I would regret not having demanded and cherished more stories from him about his life and times.)

Trains can be really awesome. Even tho I hate being stuck on the road when one is crossing.
