How did your love of railroads start.

Mmm.. the love generally sets in later, I would say, growing out of early childhood experiences, which themselves may have seemed quite inconsequential at the time! <br /> <br />In my case I can remember hiking through the Canadian woods in in Northern Ontario in winter, alone, near dusk, and unexpectedly coming across a rail line hemmed in by trees on both sides. I pause on the bank to take a break. Suddenly a low rumble, then a roar, a flash of silver, snow swilrling, and then, what a vision! --- through the glowing glass windows, ladies in evening dress and men in dinner jackets, white linen and flowers, waiters and barmen, then ---- it's gone; silence, snow and darkness again, the sound of a snowlark somewhere overhead. <br /> <br />Is it any wonder love grows out of such magic? <br /> <br />[Incidentally, it would have been 'The Canadian' bound for Sudbury and thence Toronto or Montreal, circa 1962]
