Romance of the Rails
11th April 2020
In my private life, I expressed my love for passenger trains by helping to restore the SP&S 700 steam locomotive and several passenger cars; buying (but never really doing anything with) some model trains; collecting railroad memorabilia; building a library of hundreds of books on passenger trains and railroad history; and joining dozens of rail history societies and museums. None of these things were as satisfying as riding the trains themselves, so whenever I had an opportunity I rode tourist trains such as the White Pass & Yukon and Cumbres & Toltec.
