"I remember as a young boy, standing beside my father and watching the train rush down the track to a world that I could not imagine. With my father's reassuring hand on my shoulder, I would muster up the courage to wave to the engineer … who never failed to wave back. And even though the "new age" has pushed the steam engine deep into our memories and the tracks have remained unused for years, the crossing still reminds me of a world that was in many ways a nicer place in which to grow up."
