Gerry... When the barometric pressure is just so, I can predict a snow (as tonight) in that I can hear the distant train.
Nothing though can compare to the sound of the steam whistle on the locomotive. As a kid I remember trips on the "Southern Crescent." I actually remember when it was almost as a term of endearment the porter was called George (Pullman). I remember, "Passengers will please refrain from using toilet when the train is sitting in the station..." Today AMTRAK doesn't compare... BUT... for $208. round-trip I can get to PENN in NYC.
