someone screwed up royally
Posted by FJ and G on Saturday, March 12, 2005 6:23 PM
Well, someone screwed up on Tequilla Sunrise Subdivision. They left a brand new PRR Texaco car on a team track, and simply forgot about it for a few years!

Incredible but true, as I have photographic proof (I drove there in the VW microbus), and pictures don't lie.

Here's how it looked after 3 years and then after 10 years and it's still sitting there!

This actually isn't the first time something like this has happened. In real life, Penn Central once left some cars loaded with mail on a siding and forgot about them for two years. True story!

Hey Dave: I am waiting to see the picture of the real VW. Hey Sask: Did that happen in Canada (ourCountry), if so the manager probably got moved out to a higher position. Regards Steve

When the SP removed the track on their Walnut Grove branch south of Freeport, CA, they left a another roads boxcar on an industrial track in Isleton. It trucked out several year later.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.
