Uncle Bobby, Why do you like trains so much?
.
The word "LIKE" hardly seem
large enough to describe the way I feel about trains in general. That question,
asked by my oldest niece several years ago, immediately brought about all kinds of
flashbacks and stirred deep wells of emotion. Oddly enough, in spite of the fact that
I’ve loved trains all my life, the question really caught me off guard. Giving a
honest answer would require some serious soul searching. What’s more, how could I
honestly hope to somehow get my nieces as excited about trains as I’ve been all my
life, if I wasn’t really sure myself where that love and these deep feelings come
from. What started it all? How did the obsession begin? We’ll have to turn back time,
by many years, to get to the root of My Luv Affair With Trains..
