Post Body

I grew up in the early '70's. The Milwaukee Road came right through the middle of the entire town and had two sidings where grain could be loaded from two elevators. Then the Milwaukee pulled up tracks around 1981 and that was it. The Burlington Northern ran a very busy track 7 miles from my hometown and right through my Grandparents town. I spent alot of time by Gpa & Gma and the BN line was one block from there house so I remember running to meet the passing trains with my cousins alot. <br /> <br />Today, that BN line is now a very busy BNSF line and I live one mile from it. My son and I still chase after trains! A farily busy UP line is about 15 miles from me and I pass it nearly everyday at work so I get my "fix" of UP's there.
