I also love trains, but I've never taken a trip on one! I love everything about them--the sound of the whistle in the night, so lonesome and homesick; the chug and rustle of the engine and wheels; the track through the canyon and along the river; the velvet covered seats and the smartly dressed Conductor--these things stir a longing in me that goes beyond a mere train ride.

I also love Randy Travis (: Thank you for all the great pics and the links to the songs!


"The Polar Express" has joined my collection of all-time favorite Christmas movies!

Hi, .30Carbine. Thanks for the recommendation on "The Polar Express" I have been thinking about renting it. I am going to put it at the top of my Netflix queue. :-)

"I love everything about them--the sound of the whistle in the night, so lonesome and homesick; the chug and rustle of the engine and wheels; the track through the canyon and along the river" I HOPE IT"S NOT A GENERATIONAL THING. REMEMBER NEXT CHRISTMAS - PUT ONE UNDER YOUR TREE!

Good morning! I had great fun looking for pictures for today's thread. The steam locomotives are the BEST! As always, when I start a thread like this, there is so much I wanted to do with it and just couldn't get everything in. Lyrics to songs, pictures of boxcars maybe....more.
