Reply to "Re living days gone by."

Thanks Mike.  I consider myself a very lucky train watcher.  Growing up (age only) I lived with my aunt and uncle in Pennsylvania every summer.  We were right on the PRR main and down the street was the Reading MU line.   I got to watch PRR GG-1 locomotives, box cabs, sharks, and almost anything the Pennsy had.  My dream as a youth was to someday have catenary  into South Station in Boston and hopefully see a G motor at South Station.  The G motor has gone into history but we now have catenary.  The Acela and many others are not the same as the GG-1 but it is not a bad train to watch.
