Since this thread's been revived, I have to mention Catholic University here in Washington DC. The stone, brick, heavy wood bracketed, slate roofed, porticoed, station was known as UX on the B&O's, now CSX Metropolitan Branch. While gone (there's a Metro entrance now on the CU side) since the late sixties,                                                                                                                                                                   As As a CU student in (18 for beer and wine) 1965 I  hopped two freights from it's brick platforms. On the first I couldn't take the empty hopper's precarious perch and NOISE so I bailed at Riggs Road. The second trip in a boxcar took me all the way to Brunswick, where a friendly crew at the railroaders hotel gave me an in the cab ride back to DC. This was when Washington still had a freight yard and yard limits with restricted speed. CSX rips everything through there now and infrequently stalls a train on the grade up to Silver Spring.

And still... and still, like Ratty in "The Wind in the Willows" longing for faraway ports, I would like to travel "light" again. The sounds of CSX and Amtrak happen all day where I work. When I perk up and sniff the air, my buddies say " do NOT do it Rick".

Oh well,
