Wow, I look at this shot and see myself 40 some years ago. Albeit the power is much newer, as is the playground equipment, but the image of a small boy wathching the train hustle by speaks volumes as to how most of us became railfans. It didn't matter so much if we had a friend or relative that may have been a railfan, we still needed that connection, that realization that hey, this is cool, and what a better way than to just standing there, feeling the ground reverberate with the pulse of oh so many horses moving man and machine alike across this great land of ours. Great capture Sam. Thanks for this thought provoking image
