Welcome to a new blog dedicated to trains, railroads and days gone by (or have they?).
Since I was a child, the sound of the whistles and horns of locomotives, both steam and diesel, have filled me with a sense of adventure - to travel the country, seeing all the beauty of the prairies, the hustle of the cities and the majesty of the mountains.
I know now, as an adult, that railroading can be lonely as well - crews travelling all the time, away from loved ones, and always on the crew standby lists.
This blog is dedicated to those of us who have fond (or not-so fond) memories of trains and life on the rails. I invite all of you to share your thoughts, as I will, as we follow the tracks together. Whether your memories are of the age of steam, or about freight hauling diesels to the future of high-speed rail traffic...or even if you work on your own model railroad...I want to hear from you!
