I guess I was lucky growing up in the 50's and 60's ... not only got to ride the cabs of subway and railroad locos, but also got some "handle time" from old timers when the trains were empty enough for it to be safe. And at NO time did anyone try to "grab my handles" ... I learned a lot which was extremely useful when I went to work in transit. And had this not happened, I doubt I would have been interested in it at all in the first place.Things have changed, and sadly not for the better. :( |
