Well-dressed workers flank a locomotive in the Illinois Central Railyard of Paducah, Kentucky, during the flood of 1913. I imagine the water was a tad unclean.
But That Train Keeps A-Rollin’

…rollin’ ’round the bend… My dad was a fireman for the railroad pre WW II. After the war and a stay in a VA hospital went back to it while going to night school. The neighborhood I was raised in was a RR neighborhood.

Does that mean you were near tracks and heard trains go by all night? Or does that mean it was a neighborhood full of RR kids?

There was a Round House a few blocks away so I could hear trains as they came into the yard. Also a lot of the kids were from RR parents. Of course the Round House burned down when I was a kid so I didn’t experience the coal dust and horns for too long. Although I do enjoy the mournful sound of a RR whistle at night.
