Coal Belt Country

A well used SW1500 from the Southern Pacific arrives on Coal Belt Lines property -- but it's not what was ordered:  Sound familiar...?

And you thought you have problems at work?  Listen to these guys at the CBL's 38th Street Yard in South Palmerton:

"Um, boss, what happened to the GP38 that was ordered?"

"Dunno.  Guess there was a mixup in Purchasing Office.  This is what the Espee sent."

"So we're stuck with another SW1500, huh?  We got too many now ..."

Oops!  Oh well ... here's another engine anyway...   # # #
