I grew up around Railroads. I grew up in Echo, UT during the steam to diesel transition on the UP. It was routine to see the Big Boys and Challengers come into Echo to load up with coal and water before attacking Echo Canyon on their way to Wyoming. My grandfather was the station agent and Telegrapher at Echo. The picture on the left is of me in Echo. that's a challenger loco in the background. My father, uncles, cousins, were, and still are UP employees. Sharlene, (Charlie) my wife, also came from a railroad family. Her father was a signal maintainer for the Southern pacific, Her mother was a telegrapher on the Western Pacific between Salt Lake City and Winnemucca NV.
