Pennies On The Rails

Sterling remembers doing something many of us would have done when we were kids and writes:

“I grew up in a small town in Nellis, W. Va. Our house was real close to the rail road. The train pulled coal cars up and down the rail. More often than not the enginer would throw candy to us from the train. Needless to say we spent a lot of time watching for the train. We would also put pennies on the rail so the train would flatten them. That was a long time ago, but I still have the memories.”
