And Mr. Bib-overalls has an interesting look to him, too, seems a saucy fellow.

The shay could have been in a roundhouse fire.
You begin flying with a full bag of luck and an empty bag for experience. The object is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

That probably would have resulted in the coal in the tender being burnt?

That's a good point, too, and I thought of that but dismissed the notion of my saying it since I really know nothing of coal, except for seeing it shoveled, for a very brief time in life, in the basement of our house in PA, when I was a boy. I don't know how much of a conflagration would have been needed to have ignited that coal, but I imagine you are right in your conclusion, since the coal there seems spilled but unaffected by any fire or heat.

That's a pretty substantially-built depot...looks to be brick with cut-stone masonry, a nice slate roof. Hell of an embankment. The Cumberland Valley had some fine-looking stations.

Not a good feel to that one. I'm not sure why. Too much imagination, on my part? It seems a lonely place, to me. :?

Too much imagination would correct.
