Or maybe it's just because *I* want to go! I keep thinking it would be a great experience to take my kids on a train trip cross country. Or maybe it’s just because *I* want to go!

I'll draw the name of the next Peninsula Python Posse member on Friday. Trains are such an important part of history. It will be interesting to see if they will resume their rightful place in history with fuel prices so high. I loved taking the train from Cleveland,Ohio to NYC when I visited my daughter in April. I would love to take a train across the US and return across Canada. When my kids were littles, the train was still a steam engine, and it was l-o-u-d. We'd race to close the door to our studio, and move the sleeping babies to the back room. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic RR has grown quite a bit, and is adding all kinds of trips. It's pretty cool stuff. Thanks for all your comments. I’ll draw the name of the next Peninsula Python Posse member on Friday.

Cathy, I agree with you. Trains would be better than cars. My grandfather used the railroad to ship his prize hogs to the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto from Wetaskiwin, Alberta.

I love trains, when I was a teenager I used to jump on the train to London (England) as often as I could, so trains smell of freedom to me. I'd love to do a really huge, long train journey.

My great grandfather was a life long train man. I can still remember the long, lonesome whistle of the engine that slowly went by in his honor at his graveside service. I love trains and agree in the hope that they will return. It is a wonderful way to travel. Mary Mary I can see the original Olmsted Falls train depot from my dining room window.
