My dad worked for the SP for 47 years, with the last 22 years (after WW II) being in San Diego for the SD&AE. Our house was a short walk to the SD&AE mainline and I spent lots of time watching 2-8-0's and 4-6-0's pulling freights up a slight grade near 47th street. In addition to taking summer vacations via train, I spent 4 years traveling from San Diego to Ithaca, NY on the Santa Fe, SP, Rock Island and NYC. So, I had a great love for trains early in my life. After the typical Lionel set as a kid, what got me into model railroading was learning about and joining the Purdue Model Railroad Club at Purdue University as a graduate student. I was fortunate to move to Dallas, TX after grad school: Dallas was and still is a hot-bed for model railroading. As they say, the rest is history ..... Regards, Lou Adler The Sierra Central Railroad
