Here's a shot from my latest activity. It's a lot of fun and has a lot of switching for you yard birds. It features No. 8, a locomotive growing long in the tooth but pulling her weight nonetheless ...

Steve, you need to talk to your fireman there. A smokey stack is wasted fuel. He knows that and is showing off again. No wonder why the railroad is having trouble making ends meet...with wasted fuel like that they'll never make ends meet.

Steve:

I like these acts with Johns stuff on Andre`s route! Will give your act a try as soon as I tested Alex Dunns aka Erdnay`s new StL&NA acts at Ohio Valley system!

Great pic!

Once you "hear" him talk in the pop-ups, you'll understand that he's "challenged" in a number of areas.

Smoke, huh? Yea, the guys at work would say I'm a witch when it comes to calling them on their smoke. Old school and all that ... when I was green, if you made smoke, you heard about it over the radio!

Now just wait one cotton picking minute. All us folks from Arkansas aren't challenged, just because the family tree doesn't fork doesn't mean we're slow. Andre spent time up in the hills, and I think he'd be the first to admit that them folks ain't any different than them folks from Oklahoma.

Far be it from me to pick on rural folk when that's who I is. Naw, it's this here fireman in this here activity who is especially broad across the back and narrow between the eyes ...

"especially broad across the back and narrow between the eyes ... "

Hmmm.... I've known some fellows like that!
