What was the single most dramatic event that made you realize just how beautiful railroading was? <br /> <br />I was in Grade 7. I was the short fat kid everybody picked on, now I'm the tall, skinny kid everybody laughs at. Anyhow, students were giving me grief because I loved trains. Everything involved trains, and tragically I said, "Fine, I'll conform, I give up my life." <br /> <br />I walked to the tracks for the "last" time that January night, and as I started to ponder, I heard a distnt whistle. As the train neared, it was a heavy grain train with four SD40-2's on the point. It was my good buddy, and he notched those babies up two notches, black smoke spewed from the stacks, and he laid on that horn for 1/2 a mile. I balled. That was my moment where I realized I would never conform to society.
