My favorite trains moment happened the summer between fourth and fifth grade, 1997 - I was watching a Wisconsin Central geep switch the drop off cars at the lumber yard in town, and the engineer saw me and we chatted it up a bit... I think I dropped the phrase "GP38-2" and he must have figured I was a budding railfan, and invited me into the cab. He showed me around, and even took me out onto the main track for a hundred feet or so, the back into the spur again. Being so young, it pretty much made my day, and week, and month, Lol. <br /> <br />Looking back on it - was it necessarily safe? No. (Stranger, danger...) Was the engineer seriously violating the rules? Indeed. Knowing what I know now, it may not have been the best idea but... I wouldn't change it for the world :-)
