Did you watch the Bicentennial Freedom Train go through Manning in 1975?
My uncle Melvin and I were there and I took some pix with my Kodak 110 color camera.
Bill Ohde took the picture under the East Street Bridge and Ron Colling took the picture through the trestle bridge.

Before the train got into Manning, Melvin gave me a penny and said put it on the track.
That way I would
have a keepsake from that time.
