The B&O --- many of my family worked for them including my granfather and the railroad was their whole life . He lived very near the tracks at Oldtown, Maryland and I'd hear one coming as a kid and run to the tracks to listen and watch up close ! Darn I miss those days . Then the engineers would always yank that whistle/horn to see me jump and stars light up in my eyes. Seeing the engineer or anyone in the cab wave was like seing santa claus ! And get this there was a real HOBO who would stop by every once in awhile and my grandmother would give him food and a drink ! She'd always say "GOD BLESS HIM " after he left . You can't buy memories like that . I'd just stare in amazement -- he was a very sweet old man .
