[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] Trains were definitely part of my college years. First at Randolph Macon in Ashland, VA where I often took the evening mail and express train RF&P No.5 from Washington (it continued on to Atlanta/Birmingham on the Seaboard) as I returned to school from holidays at home in Wilmington, DE. I could always count on a couple guys playing cards to greet me in the fraternity house with a cold one on my Ashland arrival at 12:08am. By graduate school at Colorado State I had a car, so my train trips were limited to one return home on the City of St.Louis from nearby Greeley,CO and a vacation trip to see my brother in TN via the FW&D/C&S No. 7 to Amarillo, ATSF to Clovis then Dallas, connecting to MP for Little Rock and another midnight mail and express train on the RI.to Memphis. Speaking of Ashland, we just returned from a trip to see family in the northeast and had an early dinner in Ashland. The trains I saw during that hour were very healthy: Silver Star with 3 sleepers, heritage diner plus amlounge, 4 coaches; a regional with 9 cars; and auto train with 16 passenger cars and 22/23 auto cars.
