My first posting here.
* A wonderful poem by F.S.Kisner of Chicago, wrote long ago, and published in the Book of the Royal Blue. October 1904 and others are a part of this link. Many, Many, things to see and read.
* This poem is of remembrances of a childhood spent with his young friends in a past that didn't die. And that question from what was, and what if?
* The linking point which returned these memories was
*** " When We Watching the Trains go by "
+++ A link to this Poem.
Enjoy ! Frank

Found a children's book "Railroads Today" from 1948 the other day and got it just fir the pictures. You could obviously tell the were working with the pennsy, 2/3 of the pictures were PRR builder's shots from around that year. I wish I had been a kid then instead of now...
