As everyone is aware, I have a variety of hobbies, somewhat of an eclectic sort of interests. Some of these are: Planes, Trains, Boats, and Tractors….oh and of course the obligatory Automobiles. Add to that list Toys, Tools and just about anything to do with working hands. That is to say any work with hands such as building, crafting and model construction. I have over the years enjoyed and continue to enjoy most if not all of these interests. The use of the five sensory organs makes this possible of course. However I have a weakness in one: hearing! As a child I had chronic sore throat ailments and ear infections.

The railroads have made many changes over the years. Diesel power, improved signals, heavier rail and piggy back trains, but back in the old days we made a good showing too. The Louisville and Nashville was never known for having fast trains like some other roads. The pan American was the flag ship but there was the Southwind and on my division, the Dixieland, Dixie Flagler, Dixie Flyer, Dixie Limited, Georgian, and Hummingbird, all fast trains, but the train that comes to my mind for getting over the road was #51, a local passenger train. |
