I've had a song stuck in my head since I looked at it earlier, let's see if it's contagious!
I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..

In the '80's i was visiting my mother in the States & early in the morning I heard steam train whistles & asked about it. She said they had a shortage of engines at a foundry & pulled out some of the old steam engines for the yard. Brought back memories from the 50's & was haunting but pleasant.
In the 90's, I was visiting the States again when a DJ friend told me he had tickets for a weekend ride on an "old train" & we went. I laughed most of the trip as it was the most modern train I had ridden on in many a year.
Thanks packrat and blunderbuss,thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!
