Sam: a rail as well?, us too; live half a block from the UPRR; when the UP ran their big oil Pacific (I think that was the class) 4-8-4; through town it was quite the show. Gad-I love steamers; grew up with Lucius Beebe on the coffee table.

"Well it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville...etc...She was on that grade when she lost her airbrakes, see what a jump she made..."

Can't quite remember all the words to Old 97.

I don't live near a track, but wish I did, love trains. I think that deer like them too, to tell you the truth, or at least like the right of ways.

Our house had Lucius Beebe books also.

Beebe & Clegg
