They tore out the tracks south of town. I felt sad they day I noted it was happening. I remember hopping a freight back in I think 68 to Peoria through Chicago, just to see if I could do it.

I like train songs too. I rode trains quite a bit back in the 50's as a kid and into the early 70's. I rode on the City of New Orleans, the one the song was written. Longest ride was on the Santa Fe to New Mexico. Many rides to Chicago to see plays or concerts. Trips to college. Family vacations. Boy Scout trips.

I had a spike from an old narrow gauge railway that went up the mountains above Los Angeles. You have me wondering what happened to it.

Nowi will be a the you tuber playing train songs.

If the night is long, and I can not sleep, I get up from bed and come to my office. I come to my office and sit down and I write. And if it is summer, then my window to my left is open. And if it is around 3:20am, all is quiet, and then ... softly, like fog crawling in off a faraway moor, a sound beckons, almost seduces, and I hear it long before I realize it ... and it's a train whistle, far in the distance, tooting ... tooting ... tooting ... tooting along its progress forward. And I wish I could fly ... and my wings ride in the wind of the whistle.

Thanks for posting a fine picture.

After reading, commenting and posting to my own blog tonight, I had some of the music playing. .

Been meaning to call one of my dearest friends who still live in California. We used to go to concerts, restaurants, play all sorts of things. Never romantically involved (and she is religious and would freak I think, if she knew this side of me).

Anyway, I picked up the phone and we chatted quite a bit and caught up. she just had to put her cat of 17 years down. She is still sad about that. Can't blame her for being sad, had to have several beloved pets put down over the years.

Well, while I was talking to her, it popped in my mind that I think you would be a very good friends and would be the kind of person I woudl enjoy hanging out with. Perhaps it is just because you share much of yourself here and many similarities exist. I woudl love to talk to you some day, just to hear your voice.

Train song I like below. Was looking for one called Long Cool Train...which was about Lincoln's ride back to Illinois after being assassinated. I have it on CD, wanted to find it on the tube place.

*nods* I love trains, so have been on the local old time one many times for one reason or another(they do themes) but tracks are something different.

They have their very different very subtle own magic.

You don't know where they started and you don't know where they end.

Something in you just whispers.....go find out

So you do for as long as you want to.

Sometimes I make a move, sorry to leave my home, but hope I will find another of equal character.
At night I gaze at the starry mass with no idea to which one the earth attached.
May'be that cute little one over there or that one that sits alone in the inky black

Listened to cam a few times. His harmonica is so much like Neil Young. Kind of writes like him too. Must be that Canadian background. Like his work. Thanks for sharing.

    Quoting  :

Well that adds to the mystery of Brim. Makes want to hear it even more. I am a klutz with typing, and would not survive without spell check. Texting is just out of the questions. Don;t even have a phone that can text. I think it receives them, which I wish it didn't. Must seem rude to the few people I know who can text and have my cell number, which i keep in the car for emergencies and directions or if the land line is out.

I agree with you, there are elements of our selves that we share with different people. There are at best five people that know about 95% of me, two that know all of me. And then, I wonder if anyone can really know a person 100%. Those few who know 95% or better are in this so called lifestyle. Belinda and husband Dean are my best friends, they are in the life.

There are a few folks on alt or on the place across the hall, who I think would be 95% level, without being romantically or sexually interactive. Just close enough to open up, I have always been reserved in many ways, some have said it is that "domly" nature. I am not one to evaluate that. hard to see yourself as others see you.

But I can say unequivocally your the kind of person it would be great to know RT. A voice just rounds out the perception. I probably sound like fingernails on a chalk board.
