Well, I can't explain what makes people put other's first (which I agree includes people like your son as well as all the other groups you mentioned), but I'm damned glad they do it ... whether they be teachers or medics, cops or military, or any service profession, I'm grateful for their commitment. Our very existence is better for it. Best to you & thanks for making me think.
Have a good one.

Sounds like you both had fun Jon. I photographed the train both Saturday and Sunday from just below Summit in the Cajon Pass including the safety check stop on Sunday. I am wondering what it was like riding the train. How about a detailed account of your trip. What is it like riding through Sullivan's Curve instead of hiking it?
I'd have to ask my wife Debra, she and our son Jon were the ones on the excursion. I stayed home and am processing their pictures and videos.
I made a few long distance trips by train back in the day. And a lot of time as train crew at the Railway Museum I belong to. (conductor) so I don't really have the "I gotta ride it!" bug.

Still doing the inside set, I got distracted reading and watching old Star Trek re-runs.

Southern California Railway Museum (Organge Empire Railway Museum when I joined in 1998) in Perris.

Due to knee problems and getting lazy being retired I haven't operated for a few years but I go out and do the announcing for major events like the twice a year Thomas Festival.
