Railroad Town

If you walked down to the end of Main Street, you could see the railroad shops. It stretched out about as far as you could see. Now it's all tore down and looks like it were bombed by the Nazis. Back in the 30's and 40's a whole bunch of peoples worked there. I even worked in the storeroom one summer just helping out.
I learned a lot. One of the things I learnt were I didn't want to work for the railroad. Guess it didn't matter since it's all gone now. The mens what worked there was all good sports and joked around all the time with one another. The womens all thought they was crazy. Things ain't changed much I don't reckon.

Hollis' book of the Day:
Redeeming the Wounded by B.Bruce Cook - Pursuing the rights of victims of crime.
