Yes. Railroading is in my blood. My Dad was a conductor on the Wabash RR and when I was in high school took me with him on several trips riding in the steam engines and later F7s and of course the caboose. I started working for the Wabash as rail gang operator between my junior and senior years of high school. Then in April of the following year started working midnights in the yard office as telegraph operator and finishing school in the daytime. My railroad career lasted 44 years (1953-1998). Guess my model part started with my first Lioned 0 gauge train set my Dad gave me for XMas one year. Every summer travel around the country riding excursion trains. A couple in Indiana and one in Ohio allow you to ride in the engine.
