People ran out
of town as
fast as they
could, but the
smart people, AKA
railfans, ran after
the Big Boys.
As they neared
the state border,
the Big boys
began to pick
up their speed.
They began going
faster and faster

waiting for Bergie
to finally close
the thread. But
while they were
waiting they heard
a rumble. They
thought it was
a train, but
then the ground
started to shake.
It was an
earthquake! They looked
up and saw
a fleet of
C-17s. They were
landing nearby. Then
they realized the
earthquake was a
trainyard rising out
of the ground
that had tracks
stretching as far
as they could
see. The C-17s
rolled up to
the ends of
the tracks and
lowered their doors.
What would come
out? Hundreds of
thousands of........ of,
Big Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Under
their own power!!!!!!!!!!
