If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

Went to an American Legion function at the Cumberland Ali Ghan Shrine Club Campgrounds today, took some pictures of the narrow gauge rail road they have, powered by a Plymouth switcher. I have fond memories as a kid riding on the train there. They also have a 50 year old B&O little red caboose and some old crossing signals.

Brenda and I used to go to the rail road picnics put on there yearly by B&O and Chessie with our parents when we were kids. The draw for us kids was finding crawdads in the little stream, I think it's Evitt's Creek. The draw for our dads was the beer truck. 😉 Our mothers were the DDs.

We had my dad's memorial service this past Saturday in Cumberland and a couple buddies and their wives wanted to do the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad ride to Frostburg, so Brenda and I tagged along. It was a nice, breezy day and we had a great time. Conductor Bill was awesome too, he let us check out the Observation car before returning to the station. There was also an interesting barber shop onboard, but I can't imagine getting a haircut or shave on a train.

I took a video of them turning the diesel around on the turntable in Frostburg, will have to upload that later.
