Trains I Have Known
B has sent in some fond memories of trains from his childhood and writes:
As I am in my mid 60’s most of my memories are bits and pieces.
Friday nite my aunt came down from Montreal. The train would arrive at 8:15 PM My Corgie dog would hope up on the sofa and look out the window at 8:05 even before we could here the whistle [yes it was steam]I was 5 at the time and my aunt always brought my 2 comics.
We always took the Train up to Montreal [about 2 hours] for Christmas to see the Santa Claus parade and to go to Eaton’s for there Christmas toy show. It was a whole floor with a train to ride on ,elves passing out toys and candy and of course Santa at the end to hear what I wanted for Christmas.
I remember how different it was when the Diesels came in. The horn was really weird.
