My father is celebrating a milestone birthday today! I won't say quite how old he is, but here's a picture of him in 1954, proving (if there was any doubt to begin with) that his interest in railroading has been lifelong.
Anyway, the next time you see him, wish him a happy birthday!

Thanks. Nowadays I would know better than to wear shorts for a cab ride.
ReplyDeleteWe have all made fashion mistakes especially when mom was picking our wardrobe. There was a photo of me on the internet taken in 1976 at 11 years old wearing red, white and blue pants at East Troy.

Here I thought my brother and I were the only kids (with our dad) who ever discovered the Illinois Midland. Now I have to dig out the photos. Happy birthday, Randy!

ReplyDeleteGot to met him on a couple of occasions. Happy birthday to him and all the best to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteSupposedly the horn now on the 65 came from the small diesel that replaced that steam locomotive.
