View from a Train Diner Car

 

Another thing about train depots, back in the 1961s or so, after I had graduation from high school my late friend Larry’s sister, who was NOT old enough to drive yet and her running buddy, one Friday night, asked Larry to take them to the Marietta High Football game.   Larry took the two girls.  In downtown Marietta at Whitlock Avenue, they had to wait on a passenger train to move on.  I suppose some people got on and off the train too, and probably lef some freight too.  All that took time.

The dining car was striding Whitlock Avenue.  Larry’s sister and her buddy, both hell raisers, got in the front seat, turn around with knees on the seat, pulled down their pants and panties and MOONED  the diners.  True.  Or, I suppose it is True, because Larry was a trueful  person.
