Recently the NS has hired the Tyco Corp. to rewind locomotive alternators. Or... "this happens every time I downshift coming off a big hill." [;)]

If Tyco had something to do with that engine, I'd say the super bright, super hot light bulb in the cab finally burned through the roof[:D]

add salt to taste... Iron horse curses again! Note: 8 382

perhaps a reincarnation of Casey Jones' infamous 382...

Well, just taking a shot in the dark... hope nobody blinked... gotta get another flash bulb...

or, 83-82 numbers in sequential order... just too weird!

"...hey! did someone leave the iron on?"
Big flames and no marshmallows, tsk, tsk...

one time, I had a cheapy Model Power locomotive
that gave me problems. Hammer fixed it up real good.
Locomotive gave no more problems... uh, locomotive never worked again, either. Metal scrappers liked the donation.

single slip-switch...

John
"...well, Ned said he was hungry enough to eat a horse, so,
well, uh... one thing lead to another..."

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

PLEASE PASS THE CRACKERS! [:O]

"...I said a BUD Light..."

Carb' needs a tune up... running a little rich, there...
Hourse power, to say the least...

Charlie: "...Gus! Did you forget to unplug the iron again?"
Gus: "Chuck you, Farley!"

"See? I told you a penny in the fuse box wasn't going to last!"

"... ahead of us is a pretty clear sky... must be some horrendous storm behind us...
man, that's some wicked looking lightning and black clouds behind us..."

"all right, who dumped the baked beans in the fuel tank?"

"HEY, No smoking in the theater of operations!"

"Is it just me, Dudley... or are you feeling the heater a bit on the warm side?"
"Yes it's flammable, but you didn't need to light it! Geeze! Is your donkey a bit sore, now?"

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
