Gotta keep the Chessie folder active. No news yet.
I was thinking of train songs and thought I’d list a few there. I was amazed at the number and variety of train songs out there. I saw this, which is a good sentiment: ”The influence of the train is not to be underestimated in music history. It has been mythologized in music for decades. It's been a symbol of freedom, of escaping your hometown, of traveling to fame and fortune. The rhythm of a train rolling across the tracks has been used within songs by everyone from Elvis Presley to Eminem”.
Way to many to list so here is a short list:

Here are some music and sound clips that you can play or not play.

I had an interesting dream this morning. Most times I try to remember them and go back to sleep and in the morning they are gone. That didn’t happen this time. Today I was wondering if it was due to sleeping in a strange bed, mind tricks, thing to come, or just a dream.
Somehow I was told to go to the CSX office across the tracks near where the Chessie caboose is parked. It was a small office and three men and one lady was there. I introduced myself and was told they had been waiting for me. News to me I just got the message. What is this about? One man pulled an envelope out and opened it. There was 4 sets of documents that he ask me to sign and give him a check for $1,450. and the caboose was ours and were we ready to move it? I said, “Do I look like I’m ready to move a caboose and what is the money for”? Ok, was the reply, we could leaved it there just sign the papers and give him the check that covered some fees and miscellaneous items. The others in the room were asking questions what was going to happen to the caboose, why we wanted it, etc. and I was getting annoyed because I couldn’t read the papers which were many pages long. I woke up and it was 3:20 am. Funny strange, don’t you agree?
