I see several thousand dollars worth of rail frog castings there...

Me and AFT #1 (Reading 2101) reunited at the Baltimore B&O museum in 2007, after 31 years.

I've told the story on here about winning the coloring contest (luck of the draw, really as my entry wan't very good) back in '76 when I was 8 years old. I finally found this pic.
I got a VIP pass that included breakfast in the business/observation car, a cab tour with whistle blow and bell ring, and guided tour of the exhibits.
I was also on local TV news for about a minute.

Sadly, even though my mom has literally thousands of family photographs, there are zero pics from the 1976 Freedom Train event.
