Coins were my one brush with the RR Police. They saw me, came to my house, and told my parents. I don't recall my punishment, but I never did it again.
I forgot all about the freight trains! And the freight engines. The passenger trains were streamlined; the freights were boxy and had rails around the engine.
Bill Lyon recalled the train trestle outside Belfast NY. I used to pass under it every time I went into Belfast with my parents (it was a wet town). I think it was the 8th longest, at one time in the '50's. Wonder if someone posted a pic of it???
Yeah! Bunches of them!
