[QUOTE]Originally posted by Railroad Bill: [QB] As mentioned on the "French Toast" site, I graduated from Ohio State, B.A History, M.A. History, BS Education. Did not need to ride a train (of course there were none to ride in Central Ohio)since I lived only fifty miles from Columbus. But very much enjoyed spending some afternoons in the old Columbus Union Station and harking back to its heyday when it was once full of passengers. Unfortunately it was torn down for a freeway and new convention center. All those Rose Bowls we played in in the 70s were also beyond my meager budget. When I attended graduate school later at the University of Florida, I would drive up to Waldo and watch the Amtrak trains. Probably could have ridden back to Ohio on the train but never crossed my mind as a 22 year old with little cash. Did enjoy riding from Parkersburg, WVa to Cincinnati to see Reds games. Of course that track is now history as well. Great memories of Ohio trains that are no more. But wife and I are making up for lost rides as we travel on Amtrak across the country every chance we get. Seven days and counting for CZ and SWC. Can hardly wait!! Railroad and Mrs. Bill :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
