The Moment of Truth and Railroading

I was about 5 yrs old and my parents bought a Marx O-27 train set for me for Christmas (warbonnet F units). Dad even pre-manufactured a small layout that would slide under my bed. I spent hours playing with it. The love of full size trains seemed to grow out of that as I would make my parents stop and watch at RR crossings. <br /> <br />I married the girl who said, hey, lets take a train ride out to California (from the midwest.) She was the same girl who had earlier seen a copy of Trains Mag on my desk in college and said, "Why do you have that??? Oh dear God, you're one of those train nuts, like my dad." <br /> <br />Nowdays my business card at work even has something to do with RR's. (Got that job because I knew a fair amount about the RR network.) Coincidentally, my folks were pretty please about me getting that job and probably didn't realize that they started me down that path about 30 yrs ago.
