For me the 1930s has always been intriguing. While it was The Great Depression, there was the great era of streamlining. Especially in the railroad world.
To think of the amount of trains running on any given day seems like it would be a continuous railman trip.
Putting aside the social norms of those times and having the knowledge i have now, I think it would be a very educational adventure.
Very interesting, Dan.
i think my first choice would be the early 1950s: a time of hope and prosperity, great for Lionel trains and real trains, and the Yankees (Mickey Mantle as a rookie, who was Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio all in one).
