Tribute to John Allen, inspired by the October MR article.

G&D # 13 (a.k.a. Emma) has been sighted on the G&D-operated branch line of the Taggart Transcontinental Railroad. Apparently, an inspection of an errant box car by Horace P. Vestibule, assisted by Archibald Peter Van Slurp (a.k.a. Arch-Bar Pete) uncovered serious damage to the superstructure. A track hand is supplying some refreshments for the hard-working duo, freshly delivered by G&D president M. H. Vanderlip, who made the trip up the branch line in his private car with two female "associates". Modeling by Steve and Jeff Witt.
