Pete You brought to mind a favorite theme. You know we read and hear a lot about the sights and sounds of the railroad, and of course the feel of it and with reference to diners, the taste. But what

John - Well, no wonder, smell is the strongest memory. One smell I'd rather forget after all these years, but will share with all of you tonight, is the STINK of baked urine on a suburban depot stove

I always thought that the smell of creosote coming from track ties or even a wood platform on a hot summer day was about as "railroady" as you could get. Also that steam and valve oil as you mentione

Creosote's smell just says "RAILROAD". You smelled it everywhere. It was not just ties but so many things were made of treated wood. Another smell I remember was how the exhaust fumes of those old tw
