Thanks Ray, an interesting place, for sure, after my time there.

It triggered a memory for me; when I moved from Miami to Atlanta in 1965, the trains in FL had not operated for several years, a strike, I think, so I had to "re-educate" myself about stopping at RR crossings , of which there were many here. After the inception of "rapid transit," not so many and can't remember the last time I stopped for one.

Last time on an American train was from Greensboro, NC back to ATL so the sons could experience train travel, sometime in the 70s I think. Not so great.

Subsequently, took a European tour with all in '85 which utilized part train travel and we did one in '92 in Britain and Switzerland, no comparison to US train travel! (nice)

Can't even imagine what AMTRAK is now.

Thanks again for sharing and hoping you're thawing a bit!
