His memories of New England various,
Were by and large vicarious…
Mostly pictures he saw
with interest and awe,
His chances of a visit–hilarious!
–
Point of fact he was too young,
Couldn’t drive himself even some…
The eight-hour ride
Once a summer left wide,
Window for relevant magazines to come!
–
Still his interest grew,
Past the time when he knew…
This paint scheme was gone,
these ALCOs moved on.
But the history he wanted to view.
–
Found an N scale engine thus,
Painted just like this—a plus–
To re-enact
Historical fact,
Without too much fuss!
