Thought that would make you smile. You and I can go cruising and find ourselves rich old men with medical problems! We'd be set for life!  |

Actually, I can't wait to take the little fellows this Spring to the Steamtown trains. My dad had a big fasination with trains from when he was just a "young lad" it carried through into his later life. Things you love and enjoy don't stop because of age........
The boys love to watch the trains going round the tree. They loved the train set up in NYC at Union Station this year, a big hit.
On the history channel they had two old locomotives that were found at the bottom of the Sea, off of Long Branch, NJ.
They couldn't find a date for them or what had happened. There they sat....nothing else around them. No wood from a lost ship.
After research it was found they stem from about 1850......the only other one like it ( smaller version) was stored in Bethlehem, PA!( Pioneer train)
They went to the "Transportation Museum" and looked at it.......
Then they did some more archive work. They feel it was shipped from Boston from a company that had made 13 and 9 got to the destinations....perhaps these two were a couple that didn't........
PA has a great train history........good for OLD and YOUNG to know about.
Scranton is part of that......
