You're welcome Gabe. I figured there were some out there that really like the old steam engines. When signing up on this site, my nick was the first thing that came to mind from America's top Hobo along with the movie, "Emporer of the North", where Lee Marvin starred as Anumberone. As a sidebar, here is some interesting info regarding the Hobo's sign language that was used along the various routes. Go to your favorite search engine, mine is Google, type in hobo language and hit search. One I found is www.slackaction.com/signroll.htm. It defines the symbols the Bo's used along with a couple of stories. As a kid, I used to ride the old steam engines a time or two myself. Guess that's a part of why I enjoy anything pertaining to trains.

Here is some information for all the steam engine buffs out there. The Library of Congress website has tons of old photos of steam engines, depots, etc. you can get and even download onto your pictures pages. It's free and very, very interesting. Just go to loc.gov
