This takes me way back before my time, to nostalgic thoughts of my great uncle Bill. He was my Grandfather's twin brother on my father's side of the family.
Old Bill drove a train like this one, having been born in 1881. That was another age indeed!
Sometimes I fantasize about those days and wish I had lived then. It all seem so romantic, the good ole days, that is.
Take a look at the architecture, home furnishings, houses and cabins built in the 1800's, and even the trains.
This steam engine has style that cannot be found today. Now people seem to have a need for sleek and streamlined, for the modern twist on everything.
What stories could we find just surrounding these antique steam trains? Lots of lives and passions went into building both the trains, the track network and the legends themselves.
I want to start down memory lane with my Uncle Bill first, then branch out into the stories of the train era's beginnings. If any of my readers has a story to share, please email it to postmaster@mountainspiritproductions.org and write "train story" in the subject heading. I will be happy to feature your train story on my blog. Give me contact information and a note giving permission to publish the story.
Looking forward to a romantic journey down memory lane, on a slow train to nowhere and everywhere! Join me for the trip.
