Cool memories, huh? There were the freights and the long-haul expresses
between big cities, but in the morning a north-bound "milk train" that
stopped in every town along the route that had a depot and in the late
afternoon another that was south-bound. My mother had an aunt just a
couple years older than her that lived in Poynette, about 25 miles away.
She would take me with her on the train to visit her aunt for the day,
then return in the late PM.

Paul,
Among my earliest memories is asking to be taken in the stroller down to
the end of the block where there was a Chicago & Northwestern roundhouse.
I could watch the steam engines endlessly.
I'd guess that they were in the commuter service for Chicago and
waiting for rush hour.
Regards, Bob S.

For my first 10 years we lived about half a block from the railroad tracks
and depot. Boy, does that bring back memories from some 60 years ago. The
chuffing as it gets louder when the train approaches...and the lonesome
sounding whistle as I lay in my bed late at night. I wanted to be able to
get on that train and see where it would take me.
