All Aboard

This thread is bringing back so many memories of all the train travel I did as a young kid!

66340SEDAN, your pic of the F7 gave me a flashback to one of the cross-country trips my mom and I took, and what was later a funny story. I was about 10 years old on this trip and one night I had to get up and use the bathroom. Our sleeping berth was toward the end of the car and I remembered that the closest bathroom was in the next car to us so I headed that way. What I didn't know was that we were in a trainyard at the time - don't remember what city - and the train was being reconfigured before continuing its trip. When I opened the door to go to the next car I found myself staring into the headlight of a F7 diesel locomotive rather than the expected door of the next car! I almost forgot what I needed to do.

Wow, that would scare the $hit outtta me! LOL The picture I posted wasn't one I took but I did see tha very same one in Duluth here in MN, it was my favorite one in the museum. When I was there this engine was inside and my pics didn't turn out so great. Glad I could bring back an old memory for you!
