How I got into the train hobby

It all started when I was little & we had no choice but to wait for the trains to go by before 1989.Also,my parents and aunt used to take me to the Cotton Belt yard & let me watch how trains are made up.There was a single track on 4th Ave & a single track on 3rd Ave in Pine Bluff,AR.This is 3rd Ave back in 1985.

I had 2 train sets back in elementary school.I had an N scale & an HO scale train sets.When I was a senior in high school in 1998,I attended my first train show in Pine Bluff,AR.In Dec 1999,I got into model railroading with 2 trains around the Christmas tree.In 2008,I joined Flickr and Youtube and railroad discussion forums.My videos and photos have been pretty popular since.In 2009,I joined the social network Twitter.In 2010,I joined Facebook.I have a total over 3000 friends on all the sites I'm on combined.I really enjoy watching the trains go by & listening to the horns especially.
