When I was a wee little lad my mom would take me on drives, these drives consisted of going to railroad crossings and hoping we see a train, one of these trips I probably got my rarest and greatest catch, an old CSX caboose on a multi cargo concist.

When in grade school, used to watch alot of switching at the old GTW NOLAN YARD, on the east side of Detroit ,on Outer Drive behind the old Polish Century Club. GT used Alco switchers, with Blunt trucks, and the trains that worked at Nolan had old WOODEN cabooses, with ARCHBAR trucks. They were in pretty good shape, but those trucks looked old. AHHH,--- the good old days!!!!
