He joked that his name for the combined railroads was Atlantic Seaboard System (ASS). We took many wonderful rides over the years. Even Saturday afternoons from Penn Station in NYC to Philadelphia and then back. He started sometime in 1930's in Tampa, then Miami, Richmond and finally headquarters at Rockefeller Center in NYC. I've still got a few logo pieces from from the dining car food service. Train travel did not get any better than the Seaboard.

I was born in 1951 to a railroading family, during the fading glory years of railroading. My dad was a telegrapher on the Asheville division of the Southern Railway, and I was able to ride the last scheduled steam train from Marion to Asheville in the early '50's. My greatest memory was riding from Jacksonville to Miami aboard the Silver Meteor, with the red and silver E type engines. I remember the speed most of all. It was 1957, and I was 6. I will remember this all my life, an experience few have had. Thanks for your page, it brought back some memories!

I think he had worked for the railroad for 50 years when he retired in the late 70's. He drove Lakeland, FL to Sanford, FL for a time when I was little,and many other routes. I was to small to remember a lot of it. I have very fond memories of riding the train with him.
