Where is everybody?
Posted by daan on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 1:17 AM

Not so trainrelated, but I've google earth installed on the computer.

Where do you live?

I live in: Street: Zuidvlietstraat  City: Goes  Country: Netherlands

It's fun to see on which part of the globe people have their home. I always search the place where the trains I buy come from and which way they travel to my home. (track and trace gives that information.)

I even found that one train I bought comes from a place with only 6 houses!Big Smile [:D]

Daan. I'm Dutch, but only by country...

My wife, son, and I live along the beautiful St. Croix River in the village of North Hudson, Wisconsin.  The St. Croix River marks the state border between Wisconsin and Minnesota, so we can leave our small town, cross the river and be in the Twin Cities of Minnesota in about 20 minutes.

envfocus--

I really love the area that you live in, one of the most beautiful areas in the country.  My son who lives in St. Paul and I have spent some time on our motorcycles in your area and just love the scenery and The Great River Road.  If I could get my wife to move I would live somewhere between Hudson and Winona with a view of the Mississippi River.

Lake Worth FL   A few miles south of West Palm Beach or 60 miles north of Miami FL, near exit 93 on the FL Turnpike.

A quick note for those in Florida; the Port Saint Lucie(Pt. St. Lucie) train show has changed location to Stuart FL and the date changed to March according to somebody that I spoke with the other day with the TCA in South Florida.

The depot in Kyle, Texas, which for years had been preserved on private property away from the railroad, was donated to the city of Kyle along with SW caboose 854. The building was moved awhile back and is under  Restoration at this time. To trackside near its original location.

Western suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

-4 degrees here this morning!  It would be a great day to be shoveling coal into a nice hot firebox!

One thing about trains: It doesn't matter where they’re going. What matters is deciding to get on.
