Happy Birthday!

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.

We 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.

Stay safe!

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!
