you have given me an insight to what it was like for my Grandmother to grow up in the English country, during the time just before the war....She then moved to Canada for most of what you have written about but her father was also a railway man.....and so you have help me see him in a better light as well......
Thank you for your good words....and story
I have heard and read of visitors from the right side of the Atlantic comment about the sound, clickety-clack that is common to American train travel.
I understand that in general, British and European rail systems weld their tracks together and that is why that noise is muted.
