[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by nance69</i> <br /><br />(My wife is writing this message for me as my eyesight it limited. She reads many of the forum messages to me every night. All of the messages add a lot to my life. Thanks.) <br />I am just a little past my teenage years---I am 82. I still love trains. When I was between 4 and 6 years old, I used to watch Chicago Northwestern hauling grain and cattle out of the middle of Nebraska. When I was older, I would ride my bike up to the north end of town to see the CBQ. I used to ride Trailway Buses. I heard that they could beat the Challenger from Chicago to San Francisco by seven hours. Has anyone else ever heard this? <br /> Now I am 50 miles from the nearest active railroad. My wife drives me down to see the UP trains in Tucson at least once a week. I have limited eyesight, but I love to see trains. <br />Bob <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Nance69 <br /> <br />Thank you for letting us be a part of your life. I hope we don't let you down, and that we keep you entertained. This one-eyed thing is my entertainment and I truly enjoy the forums and the private emails I get from the forum members. Checking the forums and emails are the highlights of my day, then it goes downhill from there--I have to go to work. <br /> <br />WELCOME to the forums, both you and your wife. [:)] <br /> <br />You are certainly welcome to email me anytime.
