Trains On The Missouri Pacific Railroad
Jack remembers trains on the Missouri Pacific Railroad and writes:
I have always had a love for trains, especially the old steam engine engines. I was 12 years old, when we moved to the farm, just out side of town. The Missouri Pacific Railroad ran the Belmont Branch through a field about a quarter of a mile behind the house. In the back yard sat an old wash house with a dog house beside it, and that sat next to a large maple tree. I would hear the train coming, and would make a run for the the wash house roof. I did this by jumping first on the dog house roof, then leaping for a limb on the tree, and swinging on to the top of the wash house roof. Then I would start waving as big as I could. What a thrill when the engineer or fireman would see me and wave back. It certainly made my day each time.
