Not until you reach 70 are you an old Fart. I graduated in 59. CB&Q dang nearly wrecked my education. In grade school the tracks ran south of the school. Could see them from kindergarten, 2nd grade, 5th and 6th grade rooms. In high school library time was the hardest. Big windows to gaze out of .....most all of it was STEAM. YEAH! No wonder I am a die hard Q fan.

Hol and I went to South High together 1960-1963, and I often walked home from South.   I would see Monkey Wards near the corner of South Broadway and Alameda and would cross the Joint Line on West Mississippi, on the south side of Gates Rubber.   I would arrive there about 4:00pm, and if they were on time, I would see the MP/D&RGW Colorado Eagle headed eastbound.
