The Chariot, Rick take a few turns with another persons wheels as he learns of life in Wheeling. The story will be delivered in installments - one a week by Tuesdays. Be Patient, this is good. The Chariot is dedicated to my friend Patrick’s son, Seth.

I grew up loving trains. In the 1980's I had the opportunity to ride a train from Alexandria, Va to Kentucky.

Have fun!
