Chug with it indeed! :) You've got me thinking... maybe "transportation" for my ARTSPEAK! theme one of these years?? Thank you, as ever! xo
Wonderful depictions of one of my favorite things, too.
Took me back to my childhood when my parents let me ride (on my own!) on the Powhatan Arrow to my grandparents' town. Granted it was only 17 miles and my Mom drove (practically) beside the train the whole time, but it was great. :-)
Transportation would make a great theme, Irene!
Great story, Pop!
