[special-K]

I wanted to share a fall thing I am experiencing right now. Not fall colors but it has to do with the leaves. Enough leaves have fallen and the wind is blowing the right way so that for the first time since early spring tonight I can hear the train way off in the distance. First the whistle at a crossing, then the rumble for miles and miles. This is the old B&O main line. It follows the Patapsco R. valley from Baltimore to Mt. Airy, then through the tunnel. A ways west is the crossing where they sound the whistle. Then it turns due S/W heading to the Potomac R. through the valleys. When the wind comes inline with the valleys I can hear the train for miles, like tonight.
