There was a guy who started with a train in his back yard. His name was Walt Disney.

lol!! I imagine he has a button to push to reverse and one that whistles. He plays all day till Lois calls him in to dinner then after a tasty meal he makes one last round-trip and then sleeps well. With his helmet still on. Lois doesn’t like it, but well, he’s happy and that’s what counts.

Makes you wonder how many accidents there are with people falling and getting injured from the trains wheels.

Our local transit authority is putting too much faith in rail.

The love and faith in rail has come down through the generations of Allen’s family. Here’s his grandfather, Clyde.

I never saw one of those contraptions before. Guess they didn’t catch on.

Comments are acting up again tonight. I just had to put a comment in for the 3rd time because the first two ‘left’ and didn’t show up on the column. Then as I was about to click for the third time the first two showed up! grrrrr

I thought it was a motorized hand glider that he’d planned to launch himself with, off of the tower at Ballard Street City Hall and Political Rehabilitation Center !
