When I was growing up in the 1950's, Dad took us kids to watch trains at the IC depot in Rockford IL. The IC had E units on its passenger trains and steam (usually Mountain types) on freights until GP-7's started taking over. Then, each summer from 1950 to 1959, family vacations were taken at Rock Lake near Lake Mills WI. Our cottage just happened to back onto CNW's Milwaukee-Madison line which featured a daily passenger local powered by an E unit and a way freight usually pulled by an Alco RS-3. That was enough to hook me! I now model several railroads of the 1950's era in HO scale. I wanted to do something more with my passion for trains, so I wrote and published a novel, Two Track Main, about people affected by the railroads' changeover from steam to diesels.
