RAILROAD TRAINS ( TRACKS,TRAINS STATION)
I GREW UP A RAILROAD BRAT, USED TO RIDE THE OLD 494 TRAIN ACROSS THE TRESSLE BRIDGE FROM THE OLD ROUND HOUSE WEST. LEB. TO WRJ. RAILROAD STATION TO GO tO THE OLD LYRIC MOVIE THEATER,<> THE MOVIES WERE 10CENTS. NOW ALL THERE IS OF THE ROUND HOUSE IS DILAPATION, AND OLD BRICK AND PARTS OF THE CHIMMNEY AND RUSTED TRAIN TRACKS FROM NOT BEING USED AND THE TRESSLE BRIDGE IS BADLY IN NEED OF REPAIR IT HAS HOLES IN THE BOARDS YOU CAN SEE THE CONN> RIVER RUSHING FAST BELOW. I LOVED THE TRAINS THE AWESOME ENGINE ROAR THE ENGINE< THE SQUEAL OF THE BRAKES THE LOUD HORN AND THE CLICKITY CLACK AS SHE GOES DOWN THE RAILS, THE DAYS OF THE OLD ENGINES ARE A THING OF THE PAST BUT WE ARE LUCKY THAT PEOPLE SAVED TAPES AND WE NOW HAVE TAPES WITH MUSIC VIDEOS AND STORIES AND PICTURES TO DOCUMENT THE PAST. I FEEL LUCKY TO HAV HAD A DAD WHO WORKED ON THE (BOSTON &MAINE<<> THE CANNADIAN PACIFIC,<> AND THE OLE GREEN MOUNTAIN RAILROAD LINES I LEARNED ALOT AND GOT TO RIDE THE RAILS HEAR STORIES AND GOT TO SEE HIM GO OFF TO WORK EVERY DAY TO A JOB HE LOVED AND HE'D TELL GREAT RAILROAD STORIES.
