TALES OF THE DOCKSIDER

This has not been the best day for plucky shop switcher X-8688 and her crew, engineer Joe Safetyvalvoni, fireman Vasik Semaphorowski and brakeman Mick O’Depot. The Docksider was bringing a string of empty hoppers from the power station, when an unknown malady caused her to lose steam pressure and stall.

The crew didn’t think the day could get worse, being proud of having one of the cleanest and most reliable engines in the roundhouse. Then they ended up being totally humiliated when the Yardmaster sent a blankin DIESEL, NYC Beep no. 5903, to pull the train in!

X-8688s crew wanted hide in shame. They are totally convinced of the superiority of steam, vowing to have nothing to do with the new fangled, foul smelling machines. The crew’s fellow railroaders wonder if the crew will resign rather than submit to operating diesels. Your Yardmaster thinks their fate is sealed!

Many great posts today, SwSat faithful!

John
