Who is old enough to have seen a train with a caboose?
How about old enough to see a steam train. When I was in elementary school there were train tracks adjacent to the school playground. Of course, at that time, there were no safety fences. Steam locomotives used that section of track. Just being kids, when we heard a train coming, we would rush out and put pennies on the tracks to be crushed. Somewhere I still have one of these pennies.
Childhood was so much fun in those days.
