That last picture is amazing! Did they really build 'em like that?

When all is quite, that train will start a vibration that will ever so gently rattle the old windows upstairs in the house.
I have fond memories as a child lying in bed late at night and listening to the rumbling of the train on the tracks. Every time I hear that train, I think about "old times", not only of my youth, but of how it must have been many, many years before.

Big Man said:Hank Williams sang that song. "I'm so Lonesome I Could Die" is the title.
Chas said:Actually, it's title is (I Hear That) Lonesome Whistle.
Sorry, don't mean to nit-pick. I'm a big admirer of Hank Williams (Senior- Junior's a 4-alarm wanker). ...
