Velopes and Associate Announce the new train! </center> <br /> <br />“Revenue from the Garden Flyer has been significant, “said Velopes, “and our line is hardly finished. A special mixed train christened the Micaela Flyer will be making some extra runs.” <br /> <br />The N&MRR recently purchased a new locomotive, Number 6, from the Sow’s Ear Locomotive and Car Works. Recent controversy over the usage of the Locomotive City of Two Trees prompted N&MRR President Capt. J.E. Carrales to inaugurate the new run. <br /> <br />“This train,” began Carrales, “is to be pulled by a wide variety of locomotives. From the City of Two Trees to some of our heaver Moguls.” <br /> <br />Longtime critic Sampson Betts was silent on the issue. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><center><font size="5">Two Trees Times to move to Large Facilities </font id="size5"> <br /><i>By Richard "Scoop" Carails- Two Trees Times</i></center> <br /> <br /><b>Two Trees, Texas-</b> Two Trees Times Editor and Owner, R.E.

Creer Mercantile Company. <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/CaptCarrales/IM001259.JPG[/img] <br />The Two Trees Post Office</center> <br /> <br />The announcement came late last Friday when Porter and the local postmaster had a verbal exchange in the post office. <br /> <br />“That idiot,” Said retiring Post Master Percy Willow, Sr. , “we offered them a good deal to rent out our back room for printing. The Federal Association of Mail & Postal workers contacted me after some mail was destroyed by ink. Now he has the audacity to claim that all that noise and ink is to be accepted. Uncle Sam will not stand for that… So I through them out on their…Association rules are clear on the matter!” <br /> <br />The move to the upper level of the Creer Building is also seen a temporary are funds are allocated to the construction of a permanent structure to house this publication. <br /> <br /> <br /><center><font size="5">Work Begins on Poor Vic’s Curve</font id="size5"> <br /><i>By Richard "Scoop" Carails- Two Trees Times</i></center> <br /> <br /><b>Poor Vic’s, Texas-</b> Work began on the upgrade of the section of the Norma & Micaela Railroad known as Poor Vic’s Curve. Work had been delayed due to the approach of Hurricane Rita. <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/CaptCarrales/IM001262.jpg[/img] <br />Work Train Prepares to Leave for Poor Vic's</center> <br /> <br /> <br />“It is a shame that we have had to wait so long!” said Citizen Sampson Betts, “My daughter, Arejay and here Husband Al Luminium wanted to ride out into the sun set on the Garden Flyer, but that was not possible because of Capt Carrales’ lackluster misusage of company property. They need to stop making proclamations from the back of observation coaches and get down to business!” <br /> <br />Capt Carrales was quoted as saying… <br /> <br />“Poor Vic’s Curve is on a section of track heading south and turning in an easterly direction. From the direction of Two Trees it is impossible to ‘ride off into the sunset.’” <br /> <br /> <br /><center><font size="5">Two Trees Times Classified Section</font id="size5"></center> <br /> <br /><b>Announcement:</b> Postmaster's assistant needed, Inquire at the Two Trees, Texas Post Office.
