Hey, Paul:

What a wonderful surprise to see your posting! I'll e-mail some more information to you.

Man, you never know! A few years ago, I did as song that I wrote about the Chicago/Northwestern, Milwaukee/St. Paul line that ran through my home town with the verse:

   Fishing off the edge of the railroad bridge
   You can feel those steel rails humming
   Better put your bait and your bucket down
   For the train will soon be coming

I sang it at a folk festival a thousand miles from my home town, but someone came up to me afterward and said, "I've fished off that bridge." I was all excited, and asked, "Did you grow up in Janesville?" and he answered, "No, I grew up in Colorado, but it was the same bridge."

And he was right.
