Local studs, every one of ‘em, symbolized by that locomotive, which they symbolized , as well. They had secure jobs, in key aspects of life, regular money, health, kept themselves trim, and no doubt, had families of which they were the key factors.

In and outside of the steel mills and railways that blanketed and nourished the entire Pittsburgh cosmopolitan area, my childhood hometown(s) , every person I ever saw or encountered had that aura of employed power and optimism and productivity .

And eventually , they wore themselves out.

Such a blessing it was to be born and raised in that lifestyle. Can you say “strong work ethic”? Yup. Yup indeed.

Is that "Swiss Cheese Candies", or "Swiss Cheese, Candies"?

With regards to the term "National Road" or "National Highway" and Polish Mountain, I believe that is incorrect. The "National Road" began at Cumberland, Maryland, and proceeded west across the Alleghenies and the Ohio Valley to reach Illinois. Polish Mountain is some dozen or so miles east of Cumberland.

Just sayin'...
