Tangent - Re: what gauge were Uintah mine trams ?

Hi,

I recall in the 1960s and 1970s that Mom and Dad would take 1-2 extra packets of sugar from restaurants when we ate.

My Dad's sisters in Holland (Europe) could only get sugar from beets. The beet sugar was apparently more difficult to dissolve so Mom and Dad would send them the small sugar packets. It was for their teas.

By the late 1980s, golbalization of the food items allowed sugar cane sugar to be available in Dutch markets.

Thanks for triggering a long forgotten memory.
