My Dad got me interested in trains during the 1950's. My parents had six kids, so to get some of us out of the house, Dad took us to the IC station in Rockford IL on Sunday mornings. I still remember the lineup: The westbound Iowan, the eastbound Rath meat train from Waterloo IA, and finally, the eastbound Land O' Corn. We also took summer vacations to Rock Lake WI where our cottage just happened to back up to the CNW. Those experiences hooked me for lfe! Dad's still going strong at 90, and on occasion I take him train watching at the Rochelle IL RR park. <br /> <br />John W. Baie, author, www.xlibris.com/TwoTrackMain.html
