Recently, I joined an e-list that is railroad oriented and represents men and women who are retired, currently employed by a railroad, or are directly involved in contracting to, or providing services for a railroad somewhere in the world.
I've been enjoying the exchange of photographs, information and points of view that each member has to offer. I've been filling in with stories about how things work on the railroad. Stories that relate a side of railroading that most people can never know because they did not have an opportunity to experience what I have as a 'boots on the ground' railroader.
The members have been giving me encouragement to write the stories in a format that can be shared with many more people than our e-list can reach. So...I've launched another blog that will focus on railroad stories only. I'll include stories that will help my readers understand the evolution of railroad's work forces as well as the evolution of technology and market-driven decisions that affect everyone.
The new blog is called "Caboose Coffee". Please click on the link (Caboose Coffee) to see the new blog. Bear in mind, I just set it up today with lots of assistance from my wife, Susan who has been nudging me for years to write the stories I've been sharing with her. My aunt Emily and my mother also have been incredibly supportive along with a number of others. Linda....it's also because of your encouragement that I'm doing this, so remember....you asked for it!
