does anyone on OGR have dreams about trains or train related subjects? i do all the time probably because i think about them all the time in my waking life.

here lately i have been dreaming about the Altland Federation  lines and the city of Altland AZ - a fictional railroad and town that i hope to model one day

alot of the ideas i have for projects come from dreams like this engine from 2000 called the Tower55ER - basicly a hybrid between a locomotive and an Ambulance with a GEVO cab on steroids

the TOWER55ER locomotive came from a dream i had when i was 7 and it had sirens and flashing lights and iv symbols and red crosses on it like an ambulance and it had 2 gurneys as well but it was this huge locomotive

it was so weird and kind of scary

has any of you seen a train when you hit REM that you can't explain

I railroaded for 42 years, and have been retired since 2010. I still have dreams about when I worked in the Santa Fe shops in Topeka, in the 70's, and also, and quite regularly, as an my years as an engineer. Seems like most of my dreams have something to do about red signals, (which I never had problems with, but always worried about) or mechanical problems, and for some reason, arriving or departing Ark City, KS which is just one of several away terminals I ran to. Most of the time, the dreams are vivid, but all mixed up and disconnected, (kinda of like it was in real life). I'll go to my grave I guess, still dreaming about it, don't know if that's good or bad.
