William has sent in his best railroad memory:

“My first ever wild thing that happend to me as a young man was ride my first hundred truck on my own. The tonnage of that load was nearly ten thousand tons of ore from a station called Rooikop to the end station of Clewer in a steal factory called Transalloys near Witbank in the district of Mphumalang in South Africa. That my friends I can tell you, where out of the top shelfs of anybodys life span.”
