The reminiscence recalls Terre Haute landmarks and people from the past. A lively story centers on a runaway locomotive at the station and a boy warning crowds to clear the tracks. It recalls the old State bank turned into a curiosity shop and long-remembered residents like Mrs. Mary Boudinot and Mr. Riley McKeen.
