Jon, when can we start drinking again? I just spent 3 hours trying to solder this GODDAMN Italian telephone back together. You think our trains suck to work on, try this !@#$%^&*()!

[2railjon]

LOL, Tramp!!! If you are asking when are we gonna start drinking, you're never gonna catch up to me today!!!! Total:
2 glasses of champagne
5 beers (domestic swill)
Good luck with the Italian phone, I hope it won't be a big a nightmare as the 2-10-4 was!!!!!
The money for the 3751 gets mailed on the 3rd!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!

[Tramp]

Jon, someday we should double-head our 3751s. Have you ever double-headed your engines? When Dirty Pete visited here was about the only time I managed it if I remember correctly. Pete, am I right?

Damn, you are way ahead, but I'm gaining like an old steam engine chasing a diesel.

Here's a hobo story or at least the start of one.


The neighborhood was fairly quiet until MoMo arrived. It wasn’t that there wasn’t trouble before, but it was a reasonable kind of trouble, the kind we all expected and understood. MoMo changed all that. He was a huge black bastord with these yellow eyes that cut into you like barbed wire. And the cat was mean. The first real sign of it was the afternoon he tore the ears off Friendly. And poor Friendly was old. Sure he was a little crazy and a blonde, but there was no reason for what MoMo did. They had Friendly in ER for something like two days trying to get his ears back on. After that I tried to stay clear of MoMo, but I knew eventually something bad would happen. The feeling just sat there in my gut like a dead mouse.
