I suspect it would be a common experience for many who were children and in school prior to the point computers were much more common. Thanks for reading and commenting!
Interesting to railroaders and railfans (maybe?) the old Burlington Northern and Santa Fe just became officially known as BNSF® Railway in 2005, dropping the old merger railroad names for simpler corporate identification. Of course, in 2010, Warren Buffet made BNSF part of the Berkshire Hathaway family of companies. I've attached some BNSF history for anyone that might have an interest. Mail and railroads will always be closely tied, I think, at least historically!
Thank you Paul! There are many who enjoy postal history that also appreciate both railroad history and railroad models. I suspect there may be several who would benefit from your addition.
I really enjoyed your article on lead pencils. I had the same type of experience when I was a child over 55 years ago. Wow!!! Time flies.
