"First Train Station Opened" - with a picture in sepia

Reminds me of an old favorite

Rod Stewart - People Get Ready, The Train's a Comin'

I have always loved to watch the Harlem Globe Trotters - they’re awesome - and funny! Neat train station! Sure glad we don’t have to type on those old typewriters!

I’ve been to one Globetrotter’s game...it was fun!

But even more fun was attending a donkey basketball game!
The two events were on the same night,if my memory is clear about that night...

I was in JR Highschool...

They may have been on seperate nights/seperate events...That’s the portion that is unclear.
