Com'on Ed, give me a break! I KNOW that girls can be interested in trains. I've worked with women at the RR (although few stay more than 2/3 years. There are some ladies on this list. I know one gal who was recognized by the NMRA as a Master Modelrailroader; that's something almost no women achieve, and only a few men accomplish. But little boys (again most, not all) are fascinated by machinery; cars; trucks; airplanes, and railroads. And maybe the schools down there in Texas have time to add model railroads to their schedule, up here in the Rust Belt the teachers do everything BUT teach the three R's. Schools should teach kids to THINK and read and figure numbers; not promote the glories of our multicultural society, or yes, to give them an appreciation of trains.
