It was exactly the same for me Mike. I can remember crying and running to my mum as a steam locomotive (probably a V1/V3) arrived at Hedon station to take us on a shopping trip to Hull. Even worse, my dad used to work at King George Dock in Hull as a fitter, and when he was on holiday, I used to go with him to pick up his wages. To get to the pay office, we had to cross the maze of railway lines that were between the dock and the main road...always full of WD's and shunters. I was still terrified, and got across the tracks as fast as I could. I've regretted those silly fears ever since!
