Trains
Murphy's Railroad
Dad loved trains.
My dad, Howard C. Murphy, collected 12 inch gauge steam trains. The last two music videos I made feature the last time Dad ran a train. He sadly passed away from melanoma about three months later in September 2010.
The Ottaway came from Lake Shore Park, Ashtabula, OH. These are the only photos I have of it in the park.
He ran his trains at Century Village in Burton, OH, which still showcases his "Murphy's Railroad" as part of the exhibit.
I never lost my love for train travel. Whenever I travel, somewhere or somehow, there was a train involved. My favorite trip was up to the "Top of Europe" in Switzerland. Nothing like -20 degree weather in May. I also enjoy playing the banjo guitar and bass guitar, which reminds me of the rhythm that trains always seem to have.
