Summary: It's all about railroading on this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network! We are joined by two very good friends who have been on our program before: "Shotgun Tom" Kelly and Mike Curran. Both of their dads worked on the railroads many years ago and on our program they share their memories of growing up as a railroader's kid, what that life was like back then, as well as many interesting anecdotes about their fathers' careers. Also fun and interesting facts about the railroads and trains back in the day, from history to modern day, all about the train routes of old as well as today, how things were done and how things worked. Listen to stories about hobos as well as encounters with the President of the United States! Lots of great information in a fun one-hour program. Our Retro-Commercials are for Tyco and Marx trains. Hop on and all aboard this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network! Pictured: Mr. J. G Irwin, "Shotgun Tom's" dad, aboard a railroad engine; and an Adlake side marker lantern utilized on the caboose of the train from Mike Curran's collection. https://bit.ly/446CSVh
