"Once upon a time in America . . ." I wonder if that boy on the bike is still a fan ?

Very nice, David ... takes me right back to my bicycle days down to the railroad. Great image and memories of good times.

Thanks, Wharton. I rarely got to do the bicycle thing as a kid, but lived by the old WofA west of Auburn, AL during my 40s. The northbound trains would grind by my house (which was just a few hundred feet from top of grade) at 10-12 mph. Our neighborhood street ran parallel - and very close - to the tracks for about 3 miles. I would ride beside the locomotives until they got enough of the train over the hump to accelerate past what my middle-aged legs could match. While the sound of the newer power was subdued, the SD40s, C30s, etc really were deafening, but my favorites were the U18Bs and GP16s.
