So what the heck is with the age number of **62** ???
Count me in as a member of the **62** Club.. As of next Sunday, November 16th...
You guys have a LOT over 'ol stupid me. I never owned a camera. But I probably saw MORE things and MORE places, from an Insiders view, on the Southern Pacific in the Eastbay, during the STEAM era, than "ANY" of you all put together. Not trying to BRAG and be nasty--just stating FACT..
I was extremely fortunate to be a young boy who grew up in a large SP family-- however, like I said-- I did NOT own a camera. Could have had some great photos, huh ?? (grin)
Oh Well !!! Lots of young boys are into things other than TRAINS.. I couldn't escape the HOBBY if I had tried. STEAM engines by the dozens-- raisin bread and hot dogs from the "MOLE", and a chance to personally meet hundreds of great employees in that once busy RR Theatre known as **WEST OAKLAND** ... The memories will never leave me !!
Cheers.
