I am a 62 year old retired grandmother of 5 and I've recently become a railfan! You can read my entire story (about how I've come to love trains) on my blog at
If you want to read it from the beginning, scroll down and read about my first train ride in 1953. As part of my new "Train Granny" adventures, I already have 3 wonderful Amtrak trips planned, the first one only 25 days from today! (You can read about the details of those trips on my blog, too!) I'm so excited I feel like a child waiting for Christmas to arrive! I hope you will read my blog and continue to follow it as I travel across the country! I've gotten lots of helpful hints from the rail fans on Trainorders.com, and I hope to get some from this group, as well!

Just adding myself to the list, since it was the right Subject.
New to the forum & lets say, lightweight train spotter, but I'm also more interested in photography.
65 never going to retire, but I have slowed down a little. That's what happens when things get rusty?
