My family and my dogs are my life, but my love is steam trains. My dad took me as a child on my first train ride on the steam train called the General #3 (yes, the General from the civil war), and that was it. I fell in love with trains. This photo was taken by me as a child. View full size.

The General

My grandfather, who retired in 1955, was a railway engineer for Canadian Pacific and your photo reminded me of his tie clip of the General that he always wore. He told me that he bought it while visiting relatives in Pennsylvania in the 1920s, and I now have it in a shadow box along with his railway watch and a few photos of my grandparents.
