It was the former Chicago & Northwestern, now part of the UP. I too love the sound of the train whistle, especially at night. To me it is a comfort sound. Riding in the engine (head end) we would run at night and thatAwesome picture. Looks like the Burlington Northern? I've heard stories about the hemp being hauled in box cars. We used to see some of the hemp along the tracks when we would hop the trains, when we were younger.. I've listened to the trains whistle all my life where I'm from, and love the sound. I find it kinda soothing, actually. I just hate waiting for them..lol
was a call that working men where coming, no fear we were just coming through.
Do not get me going the those stories. I have told them so many times, my wife just rolls her eyes and says, "please don't start them again."
PM me if you really want to hear a few. I worked 1972 thru 1979.
