[edit] Gold, age, and the memory of guilt
A golden age is only golden in retrospect, of course. The processes of memory are such that heavier terms such as lead tend to fall downwards and the airy-fairy aethereal elements escape into the atmosphere through the ears, or in moments of hilarity, directly through the nose onto the computer screen and hence into the Ethernet. Only gold remains, or, more correctly, the memory of gold. Never mined.
Those who refer to themselves as "fifty-ish", "sixty-ish" or sat next to Jesus in the third grade may or may not suffer from terrible Nostalgia. Hell, who are kidding? They do. Terrible, terrible nostalgia.

[edit] An example: The Golden Railroad to Unlimited Devotion
The Golden Age of rail travel is commonly held to have occurred from 1919 to 1953, or in other words, at the far end of living memory. Engines, trains, railroads and rail travel exist in a golden haze of misty watercolour fondness, best exemplified by the frankly phallic travel posters of the time.
[edit] Rail Travel
The nasty brutish and long reality of rail travel, as determined by careful excavation of the public mind using an ear spork, is that the steam trains of the era pumped out smelly clouds of soot, smoke, cinders and occasionally steam directly into the carriages behind, to the vast amusement of the engineer and his buddy. The passenger accommodation was hard and cheerless and utterly without bathrooms or common decency. In the small hours of the wakeful night, dozens of passengers and Belgian detectives would roam the corridors, gang-stabbing sleeping passengers for entertainment. Brandy was expensive, in short supply and served by a surly porter named Horace.
There were trains in golden age of trains? God damn i missed that part i thought people could fly in the gold age!
In comparison, contemporary railway travel is via AmTrak.
