A Train Recently Went By

One time while driving to the cabin, I passed this old railroad track that has been a memory for me for a long time.

bike trail now, railroad track in previous life

When I was about 9 or 10, for some reason Ray and Millie T. brought me up to the cabin as they were intending to visit, but I couldn't go up when the rest of my family left. I very clearly remember Ray telling me something, as we passed this railroad line (before it became a bike trail). He said, "Al, I can see that a train recently went by." I thought about it a while, but I couldn't understand his rationale. So I asked him how he knew. Answer: It left its tracks.
