a fascinating magazine I stumbled across- it's West Virginians writing about their culture and history.

One old boy in his 80s wrote about growing up along the B&O mainline, near a stream where the train crews would stop to water their locomotives.

When he was 5-10 yrs old he became pals with the train crews, and they'd ask him if he wanted to ride in the cab with them. He'd get a round trip to Philadelphia or Washington DC and get dropped back at his doorstep. Imagine something like that happening in today's litigious America.
