5 years agoGrandpa was a lineman/switchman for 60 years. At one point a box car fell on him. He dreamed of seeing America on his free pass but by the time he retired the railroads no longer took passengers a far as they once did. My father is in the USAF, Grandpa and mom rode the train with her wedding dress under her arm out to California from ND so they could marry. His visits were few but always by rail. He left the farm at 14. Found work on the trains. Married at 30 widowed with two children 10 years later. I can't see a train or hear a whistle w/o thinking of him.

Comments (17)My eyeglasses took a hike! Inside the house. I never even lose socks in the dryer. I can't find them. I tried for hours. Inside every drawer, cabinet, trashcan, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, refrigerator, ovens, microwave, on top of every cabinet and counter, under every shelf, bed, couch, dining room table, chairs, downstairs in the basement. So frustrating! I didn't realize I have no backup. Haven't ever needed any. So I'm gonna wear these. Light tint sunglasses until the new ones get here. Grr! I assume the current ones WILL turn up and they'll become the backups. They have until Christmas to show up or I'm giving myself a present. ETA: I left a light on? And decided it was a sign. Found! So happy. Not wearing sunglasses at work. I might wear these on a hike up Buffalo Mountain....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - Sa 4/16/22

5 years agoTrain don't go here no more. Kinzua Railroad Bridge. Have been going there for about 50 years. Since before it was a tourist attraction and you could walk the whole way across with no side walkway area or the high safety barrier on the sides. Have many pictures on slides from back then.

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoMural around the corner from Irondale Cafe/Whistle Stop Cafe. It's quite faded now, and needs repainting. This is what it originally looked like.
Had the pleasure of taking Nita, husband and grandson there, years ago.
