Postwar unit trains, on sidings, ready to roll:

Coal:

Logs:

Milk:

Oil:

"Rollin', rollin', rollin, though the streams are swollin', keep them doggies movin', Rawhide. . . (crack of the whip), . . .

Move em out, let em out, ride em in, let em out, move em out, ride em in, Rawhide."

There's something about Postwar unit trains reminiscent of cattle drives. Not sure what it is.

Cattle drives moved meat to market; subsequently, trains moved all kinds of products to market.

I was born in 1951, so I'm as Postwar as these trains. Shows about cowboys were often on TV when I was playing with Lionel trains as a kid.

Many on this Forum are also Postwar, having been born between 1946 and 1964.
