And, in comes Foghorn Leghorn, and says, "Boy, and I mean Boy, you've got
a lot to learn. . ." "Get with the program: cause there's a train a coming down
the tracks!"[(-D][(-D]

...the weasels,learning that EMD was for sale,began devising a neferious plan to buy it[:0]!

[wcfan4ever]

Everyone should be glad that the logo changing stopped with only one railroad. Railroading will go on, but BNSF has been changed forever. As everyone began to calm back down...

[Noah Hofrichter]

Unfortunately the damage had been done to the BNSF, and the weasels had forged the BNSF president signature and sent a letter and decals to all yards to apply new logos to all of the engines as they rolled through, including the warbonnets.

[espeefoamer]

Every railroad had its logo copyrighted so no one,not even the weasels,could touch them.

[wcfan4ever]

With all the railroads in the country now at risk of having thier logos changed...

[Noah Hofrichter]

decided to go to work on the UP logo. Problem was scaggy now owned the UP, and he wouldn't let them get to them. When he realized what they had done to the BNSF logo, he would let them touch his, not even the UP! He imediately began a plan of action, starting by calling the state department to warn them of the danger to the country, nobody would ride an Amtrak, especially with a bad logo!!

The weasels must have drained all the creativity out of the BNSF paint scheme blatantly riping off the AC Delco logo. The weasels then...

[espeefoamer]

He found where the weasels were hiding and when he got there he found them busily designing the new BNSF paint scheme[:0]!

[Noah Hofrichter]

rather bizzar. The weasels began to slowly buy out other railroads. They didn't just try to take them over, they bought them legaly. Scaggy got to thinking that there ahd to be some thing fishy, and he planned to find out.

[wcfan4ever]

Now with the weasels on the loose, all the railroads may be doomed! What happened next was...

[espeefoamer]

NEWS FLASH![:0]. The weasels have escaped and are on the loose[:0]!!!

But before that can happen...

As he stormed in, someone suddenly began humming the Mission Impossible theme song! Oh well, he though, I got some background music now. Anyway, as he sneaked in, he saw the first weasel. It was standing in the door to the kitchen, and it was........

look for other rail lines around the country to start doing this too just like RailAmerica or Pioneer Railcorp would do. He found a 7 mile line in the state of Wisconsin. The line ran from Manitowoc to Two Rivers. He purchased the line from CN for $100 cause they had no use for the line. He called the this tourist railroad...

Side-Note: The switch leading to the line was taken out yesterday! I jinxed the line!!!!!!!![:0][:0][:0]

Sorry for the off-story post.

Now on board the front car of the train, tried to get back to the sleeper. He made his way throught the cars, but when he got to the sleeper, it had a locked door. Scaggy had no choice. He had to get in the car. He snuck out a window, and preceded old west style, climbing over the roof of the car. He found the other end, and got on the porch. As he dropped down, he imediately slid to one side of the door. As he went past, he caught a glimps of one weasel, obvious a cook, working on a meal. Scaggy new he had to just get inside and listen, not take any other action yet. But, he decided this wasn't the way to do it. He snuck off at the next stop, and got a company truck back to his head quarters. There he picked up his trusty ALCo, the one he had started with in the beginning, and began pushing the ALCo as fast as he could to catch up with the train. He got to where he could see the train, about a mile away.......

and then rescue the captive BNSF fan from the dreaded UP weasels. Then Scaggy ....

[espeefoamer]

beat the train to the next passenger stop so he could purchase a ticket and climb on board.

THIS IS STUPID

and sold it back to smaller Corperations that would start agian with the same structure as the roads UP bought out. But, there was one problem.......

Scaggy was preparing to start finding sources to give the money too, he was suprised by a visitor, or actually visitors, who could be none other than.......

THE WEASELS!!!!!!!!!!

(for those of you just joining us recently, the weasels were mad, UP Big Boy engine driving maniacs, who cause alsorts of problems for about ten pages somewhere around page 40 or so in this thread. They were eventually sent off somewhere, i think to jail, but apparently are out. Now back to our current story)

Scaggy had thought that he had heard a steam engine chugg, but thought nothing of it, as his office was in the middle of the junction of three major railroads. He looked out his window for the first time, now a ltitle two late, and noticed the Big Boys tied up on the engine track.

Scaggy turned back and muttered, "What do you want?"

"Wantssss?" Replied one of the weasels. "Why, we wantsss the UP back."

"Never!" Shouted Scaggy imediately, "If if I would, I wouldn't give it abck to a bunch of weasels."

Another Weasel piped up and said "Well, Finesssss then, Butsss No, you have been warned.........Hisssssssssss"

And with that the group of Four, fireman, Brakeman, Engineer and Conductor I assume, by the way the were dressed, turned back and headed out the door. A few moments later Scaggy, saw them walk to the Engine, build up steam, and the took off. He looked up and one of them had made his way to the dispatch tower, and was preceding to give themselves clear track for wherever they were going. As he climbed down, the end of the train passed, and he hopped in the caboose. The whole consist was UP, consisting of two Big Boys, a few passenger cars, a dining car, and a sleeper, no doubt the Boss weasels quarters. As the sleeper rolled by about 50 yard from the window, he saw the shade move in one window, but he could not see who was inside.

Scaggy's first move was to......
