I was about 3 years old when my parents took me to Kansas (on the Santa Fe) to visit grandparents. We were in the Chicago depot. It was the biggest place I had ever seen. I can still recall the phenominal echo of the place. I also vaguely recall eating in the dining car. I suppose we were riding the Super Chief or El Capitan, I'm not sure. At age 3, you don't realize that you need to save those types of details. <br /> <br />The first train that I clearly recall is the L&N, in middle Tennessee, in blue & cream paint job (either E or F locomotive) arriving with my grandmother, probably around 1957. That is clearly when I fell in love with trains. That blue and cream was nothing short of beautiful.
