Brings back fond memories of the Chicago Northwestern. They used to run thru this town for many years until they were taken over by the Union Pacific. I was just thinking about that when I passed by a C&NW caboose sitting in a local park that's located near the railroad tracks in town. I'll have to take a photo of it sometime to post on here. Probably won't turn out real good since there's a fence around it I wouldn't be able to get away from unless I get up close. I'll have to see what I can do.

Yeah, it's just too bad that they have to put fences up to protect things like that from being destroyed by vandals.

She's a real beauty...that's quite a neat collection of stuff I've seen so far of your trains. Brings back memories of my childhood. Had a little train set myself. Lord knows were it went.

What memories! I still have about 90% of the Lionel I got when I was 7 in '59 boxed in the garage.
