Wow, this leaves you feeling quite melancholy for the past and also so sad that Jim Croce is not with us. It's really great!!!

I have the album "The Faces I've been" on vinyl. Love this song. Croce was so talented, shame he died so soon. This is a great song. Nice video to go along with the song. Is that Ingrid singing with him? I've always assumed it was.

This is my favorite album from all of them. I had it in 8 track and it fell apart. I found it in cassette and slowly i'm finding it on youtube and other places. Thanks

@purplkoala I have this on vinyl; I bought it in 197-something from the Columbia Record Club. Try Columbia for the entire album.

Would be much better without the added sound effects

I lived in Cambria County by the Gallitzin Tunnels and the Horseshoe Curve. I loved sitting and watching the coal trains pass...most were Norfolk Southern, but that area is so full of amazing railroad history.

Hey come on up to east PA Jim, Coal towns, railroads and steam far as the eye can see. I live a mile from the reading RR HQ what a sight to see

[Stussmeister]

@hammerdown88555, I definitely agree with that. My grandmother lives in Lancaster County, and Strasburg, a town nearby, is a mecca for railroad enthusiasts. I myself live just outside of Philadelphia, but even there, the railroad presence is still strong: Powelton Yard, 63rd Street El, 30th Street Station, the headquarters of the National Railway Historical Society, Reading Terminal Market, and even subway entrances which still say "Pennsylvania Railroad."

@Stussmeister I traced my family tree back to Lancaster. Lots of Metzgers in that area!

[Stussmeister]

@jzmet, there are several family names whose roots trace back to Lancaster, including yours. Names like Frey, Hess, Mylin, Stoltzfus, and many others.  Leads one to the conclusion that Lancaster is a very close-knit community, as it was in the past.
