Very much appreciated.<br /><br />To answer Natasha's question, that photo was taken during a foggy sunrise in October of 2014 at Yacolt, Washington.

I have alway...WOW what a wonderful post, Elisabeth! I have always loved trains. When I was little, I begged my mom for a train set, but she told me that was "a boy's toy"--never got it. I got to indulge when I had my own son and could buy all the trains I wanted for him, then! LOL I remember so many nights I spent with my grandparents who lived in a small town in southeastern Oklahoma, Calera, which had once been known as "Cale Switch" or "Cale's Switch" where the trains would take on water. At night, you could hear the whistle blow--such a comforting sound--and I got to where if it was a few minutes late, I'd wake up and wonder, "Where is it?" until it blew. <br /><br />My cousin and I would go to the railroad tracks there to get away from the younger kids (siblings and cousins)--lots of great memories. Thanks so much to Matthew for keeping these memories alive and well with his photography, and to you, for the stories you write!

The bed would shake at night in my bedroom upstairs in the old 1870 house when the train went by.
