Trains

Texas is famous for all kinds of big things ... and small things too ... and they're not all necessarily good. We have big traffic jams and big taxes for example. We also have big, (gigantic actually), freight trains. Trains are necessary but they have gotten so long that they've become an unsafe, pain in the butt.

It was huge, the damage was massive, at least 2 people died and many were injured during this Texas train crash ... and it was done deliberately.

Since the early 1800s, Texas has been a railroad state, from steam engines to the modern-day Amtrak. Even more interesting is the fact that Texas is home to nearly 30 railroad museums.

If you dig trains (and we are not talking about the Ozzy version), you need to be at the 37th annual Temple Model Train Show, Sept. 21-22, at the Frank W. Mayborn Civic & Convention Center.
