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!
