I remember riding one of those home from school fairly regularly when I was a lil tacker. The best fun was sitting on the window sills with one's legs dangling outside. Couldn't do it now, but as kids we were all immortal ... Then the regular train changed to the dark blue kind we called a blue flyer and the old red rattlers mostly got sold off. Do they still have pictures behind glass in each compartment?
