Rocky Mountain Oysters to Pinky Rings...the Big Blue car does it all! By the way, ya gotta be more discrete about things like that last shipment. Whatsdamaddawitchew!?!

Funny thing about the 44 tonner. The Port Able Railway bought a pair of GE 44 tonners from Hardazz Steel Corporation in 1972. The Locomotives were numbered 114 and 118 and the Port Able Railway President, Mike Kieran, thought that they would look sharp in the old Boston & Maine Paint Scheme, so he painted them as such since he thought that this was the best paint scheme EVER on a 44 tonner.
By the way, I got a strange pair of shoes sent to me from the Corleone Shoe Company. The feel awfully heavy. At least they're not ticking
