Brownhoist Ballast Cleaner Poem
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, July 21, 2006 9:05 PM
As a teenager in Fort Wayne, IN in the 50s, I belonged to a railfan club.  At one meeting, the speaker read a humorous poem in which each line ended with "...the Brownhoist Ballast Cleaner."  No one on the Nickel Plate group on Yahoo has been able to help me and exhaustive searching of the Web can't find it; does anyone here know of the poem?
