He worked on trains at the Air Force base and He had lots of albums of train whistles and the clickety clack they make as they roll down the rails. Never a time that I don’t roll down the window in my car and listen as one goes by. I hear their whistles nightly and can hear them hooking up from my bedroom.

Grandpa also introduced me to baseball. We used to have the Ogden A's farm team and he took me to watch the games. Very few people attended the games and then the stadium was torn down and they put up a parking lot for cars.

FUN memories!

@snoopydawg We were headed to the famous Copper Canyon, a continuation of the Grand Canyon. It went maybe 40 mphs. It racked, made a chugging noise, and was simply enchanting! Whistles through the few towns we passed through. Good times!
I did a high speed train in Europe, and the chunnel between England and France, but the fave is that one in Mexico.

In reading gone with the wind I was reminded of when we had a great train system here in America. I guess the East coast still does, but outside Amtrak we just got a train system here between salt lake about a decade ago or so. The oil and tire industrial complex killed so much mass transportation. A train system like Chinas only exists in people’s minds.

Darnit I have a thought I was going to post but I’ve forgot it…anyone know what I meant to say? Hopefully it will come to me.

just a heads up, i'm going to take another day or two off doing the news roundup so that i can finish some projects around the house.

there will, of course, be music. so, all things considered, it's probably a bonus. Smile

have a great evening!
