My grandfather work for the Santa Fe Railroad and he would tell us kids all kinds of stories about riding the rails. My favorite stories were always about the southwest and cowboys and Indians riding their horses along side the train as it came into New Mexico towns. Such great fodder for young imaginations.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-44679794806775500072014-10-01T10:38:15.588-04:002014-10-01T10:38:15.588-04:00A good choice for today.
