"She Came Down From Birmingham On The Wabash Cannonball!"-Lots Of Memories Here!Only Pics I Could Find! Willie.
Boxcarwillie, that's one of my favorite engines on my favorite railroad. I had no idea the New York Central was involved in the Wabash Cannonball. I know, you just put those up there to remind us that that was a much kinder and gentler time, when people actually travelled by rail. :teeth:
*Sigh* When such railroads, and their trains, once were names the public knew and respected....... Boxcab E50
Yes Simpler And Better Times-"If You Want To Tavel Plain,Take A Plane-If You Want To Travel In Fame-Take A Train".
No argument there! It's a fact! Just curious- Where did you find that quote? Not certain I've ever heard it. Boxcab E50
I Got It From My Grandfather Who Worked When The Steamers Ran!!He Was A Great Railroader!In Fact My Whole Family Are Railroaders!Must Be In The Blood I Guess?
Could in in the blood! A whole bunch of my forebears did some railroading. I never worked on a RR. But did spend time in the support industry. Boxcab E50
