Saw two things this last weekend that caused me to think we are really getting close to Halloween -
An mt coal train with the helper running backward at the end and the windshield wipers all running like mad! Spooky!
And - an engine with two small pumpkins pasted to the windshield up high. X-d freight going out of town and this engineer deliberately opened his window and waved! How fun!
Mookie [}:)]
Soon the little rug-rats will be putting the pumpkins on the rails to watch the train explode them, and send pumpkin guts flying everywhere.
When the darkness is just right,
the forum will have one great fright
As you will scream, the dark ones howl
the moderators may laugh and scowl
When it’s time, I’ll release the good stuff.

Mookie, you dressing Mookie up like Chessie this Halloween
No - I am going to dress her as a fraidy cat and watch a 17 pound cat try to get under the bed to hide! She loves Halloween, 4th of July and guests in general - as you can tell!
How did you come up with the the name of Mookie for your cat ? Is it an off shoot of the english slang word for cats – moggie ???
To get in the halloween “spirit” UP will threaten to buy another railroad.They are going to announce which one on Oct.31. BOO!
A CP subsidiary at Halloween would be the BOO Line wouldn’t it?
It’s always Halloween on the Bessemer & Lake Erie
Milwaukee, too… of course, I went to a college where it was Halloween all year, so am partial to this sort of thing.
What about the Eerie, or the Seaboard Scare Line?
Her real name is Abigail Ann and she must not like it - she won’t come to it. But she came to “Mookie” - so…
Go with the flow, I guess.
Pseudo-Mookie
Same with the old Alcos on the Cartier Railway.
I have a scary poem or literature…whatever
In the dark, dark woods there was a dark, dark house and in the dark, dark house there was a dark, dark room and in the dark, dark room there was a dark, dark closet and in the dark, dark closet there was trainfinder22. AHHHHH!
Ok - I give in - you made the Mookie laugh!
Ya just seeing those Yellow UP Locomotives go by my house is scarry enough.

You know what is realy scarry…POLITICS, this time of the YEAR,Now that’s SCARRY![}:)].
Bush should dress up as Kerry and Kerry should dress up as Bush. How funny would that be?
Now that I have to agree with you on that one junctionfan. That would be to very funny.
I have been watching the BNSF and have seen quite a few PUMPKINS in the past few days[;)]!
