Reply to "Swinging Bells on Northern Pacific Geeps"

Applause for Lionel.  That's a good-looking geep, breezinup.  Say what you will about Great Northern -- and it was a well-engineered, well-maintained, and prosperous railroad, on a par with Union Pacific and Santa Fe -- I always liked Northern Pacific better, because the NP had the tougher route between St.Paul and the Pacific coast, and because it had that wonderful diesel locomotive roster with all those F9's, very well maintained and not cobbled up with after-market appliances.  And the semaphores, of course, right to the end of the NP.

Good choice, breezinup.
