Does anyone have the complete wording that was on the side of the trestle at Iron Springs on the Colorado Midland? I have bits but just can't piece it together.

As an attempt at levity how about:

"Johnny Loves Mary-Sue"

"Built by Fumblefingers"

"Fred's Mortuary, a dying business"

"For a good time see Madam Palm"

"Iron Springs squeak, keep oiled!"

"Designed by Kim"
