The Shop crews on the West Virginia and Kentucky NG line got a surprise today from a Mysterious Benefactor from West of the Mississippi in the shape of half a dozen steel three bay hoppers. It was rumored that the cars ere not up to the standards of one Little Chester, and his crew on the LGB Line. What this means for the West Virginny Boys is still unclear. Is this a tax write off for the big wigs in Texas? Or is this the first part of a Hostile takeover from of the East? Is the South gonna rise again? Who was the shooter on the grassy knoll?
Inspection shows that they will require a rewrking o their draft gear before thy can be placed in service, oh and that pesky problem of getting an engine servicable to run the line. Laid off workers are being recalled, and looks like The Shop Foreces are gonna be in full tilt before the End o Spring…
