[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CShaveRR</i> <br /><br />I'm not sure about the degree of "assent". <br /> <br />I think in the case of the coal trains it's more like "I think I can". <br /> <br />The passenger trains had no problem. That's why the orange cars wound up their days with those "The Little Train that Could" stickers on the front. <br /> <br />As for the ascent, I wish I had a profile. But aren't you glad those coal trains aren't running down the middle of East Chicago along Route 312? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />"The Little Train That Could" slogan and cartoon came from a 1972 effort to rehab some of the cars and seek funding. One day the late Jim Flemming, a commercial artist and publisher in Michigan City approached another artist, Dale Flemming to come up with an image. Dale had no idea that the image would end up on the side of the equipment. He found out one day when his train rolled in to Miller for him to ride downtown. Stuck on the side of the coach was his cartoon. <br /> <br />Mitch
