We had a big train derailment today here. 15 cars. No one hurt but one of the cars hit a house.

Sounds like prime property.
Maybe the fire was a blessing in disguise.

It really as a neat park when we were kids, but it really had gone downhill to the point where we never let our kids know how close we lived to it when they were little.

Wow.
I didn't hear about that. Why does it seem that train derailments are becoming more frequent?
Was it a freight train?

Shame to see a place you enjoyed as a child become rundown.

Autumn leaves are beautiful.
Then they fall off the trees.
Then the trees stay bare and bleak.
For a very long time.

agreed. Nothing worse than seeing dead looking trees.

It was a freight train. No hazardous materials on it. Which is the good part. We have had soo many in the last few yrs. The city counsel is trying to get something done about that.:zipit:

I love trees that are green all the time.
I love palm trees!

Our maples this year have some kind of spots, so they're not even turning color, just brown and then they fall onto the lawn. It's so depressing!

There was a park like that here also. I never did get to go to it when I was young (dad didn't trust it) When I got married I finally got to go. I had just eaten alot of pizza and DH put me on a ride that went fast backwards and forwards and in circles. There were only 2 of us on there Myself and a friend. Needless to say I got sick.:hurl: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Uponastar]

Yay!

Someday...*sigh*

Yepper!
George and I talk about it all the time now it seems. I guess with another winter on its way, it just makes the dream further away than we'd like.

Dave talks about it, but I really don't see it happening for quite some time.
