was a dirt strip called Mines Field. It had wooden oil derricks which caught fire occasionally. We used to get on our bicycles and ride over there to watch the fire. Life was exciting in those days. :sunshine: Lola Title: Re: Falcon's Eye View? Post by: Donna on 04-Feb-11, 07:02:51 PM That was great.

When we were young, our excitement was hearing the freight trains whistle in the distance, running as fast as we could, 1/4 mile, just to see it and count the 50 plus cars that steamer pulled. They were the best of times. (http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac260/Ginettela/Smileys/Train.gif) Title: Re: Falcon's Eye View?

Loiter on the way home, then hear the whistle and beat feet back to the crossing :happy: LOVE your Train gif :thumbsup: Carol WV Title: Re: Falcon's Eye View?

My biggest thrill was getting all dressed up on a Saturday to ride the train from Arcade to Buffalo to spend the day shopping with my grandma, going to lunch with her and then riding the train back. Those were such wonderful memories.
