It's funny, now when I see train pictures, I get Johnny Cash's song, Folsom Prison Blues, in my head, "I hear a train a comin'....." I didn't know the song until I started hanging out with my five year old niece, Jesse. She knows all the words. It was cute until I heard her sing the low, gravely, "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him diiiiiee," - not really appropriate for kindergarden :o). Her grandpa loves it that she loves Johnny Cash though.

I know what you mean about trains ... our farm was near the train tracks too and like you said, it's a comforting sound to hear on a daily basis. Also it serves as a good reminder of what time it is when you're busy on the farm. My Dad would often forget to wear a watch when he went outside to do chores - but the 12:00 train always brought him in for lunch!
I was thinking about you when I got an invitation to our 20 Year Grad. Will you be there? I would love to see you! Chat to you soon!
