...to all the train traffic lately. I can actually remember hearing the odd steam whistle when I was a real young one but I do like the sound of the diesels as they work their way thru town, the horn getting harder to hear as the crossings get farther away. My daughter was speculating that the increased traffic was due to harvest time and, of course, there are grain cars sitting on many a siding in the area so I think she is right. Funny in this country how we divorce ourselves from the realities of food production and it's incredible importance to the country and the economy. I doubt there are very many people around town who have even noticed the trains, let alone wondered about the harvest.
