I miss...
pacing T&P passenger trains along US Hwy 80.
seeing the Eagles in San Antonio.
watching mail being caught on the fly.
changing stations in Chicago by taking Parmelee Transfer Service.
riding the Twin Star Rocket, the Texas Chief, and the Capitol Limited.[i]
counting freight cars and waving to the crew in the caboose.
observing the office cars parked at NOUPT during Mardi Gras.
hearing the tones of dining car chimes.
the hissing of steam from underneath passenger cars.
Capt. Kangaroo's Lionel layout on TV.
the Southern Crescent and the Rio Grande Zephyr in the early Amtrak years.
any mixed train.
