Here's everybody's e-card from the entire crew of the Zalma Branch (me) Merry Christmas! Jim, that looks so nice we'll leave it full size on your post until after Christmas. (klrwhizkid)
Jim, Run off that Conductor, he's stepping on the rail and in violation of the 50' rule. Well its Christmas, light a fire under him and just let it go! Bill Jackson
Bill,you're right, it's so close to Christmas! I'll just give him a verbal warning. Probably came across a still while getting that tree out of the holler.
You might know it, a darn drunk. Well he will fit right in. Bill Jackson Beings we are kinda in the spirit. You know we used to work Christmas Eve and everyone used to come to work with a pint in there back pocket on the Eve. It was not considered too good, if you didn't offer a drink to fellow workers until about noon, then every one disappeared. About everyone headed to the bar, course no wife's knew everyone got off early. One year we had a guy got so drunk, he fell off the Ballast Regulator and left it running down the track. The Roadmaster Dick Dobbs told me, "Dam Jack, he looks as sick as he can be. Take him home. That was the last that was said. One Christmas 1972
Ahhh, the spirits of the season! I'm gonna have to whip up a still, HO scale of course, for the layout.
Very nice, Jim. Incredible attention to detail in this shot (and throughout the rest of your layout as well). Pat Moreland, Union Mo.
