Trains version of Never Ending Story

[guilfordrr]

The Big Boys

wouldn't fit into

the Disney stations,

so Union Pacific

repainted some

of their old

4-4-0s to Disney

[espeefoamer]

and sent the
bill to Disney

[guilfordrr]

Eisner was really

P.Oed, and ended

up taking out

his anger on

poor Mickey Mouse[:D]

[AlcoRS11Nut]

by tying him to the railroad tracks

[bnsfkline]

but he escapped
and said to
everyone on the
trains magazine forums
"Apperntly this thread
has no more
life, so it
is one deader
than dead thread!"

THE END

[Noah Hofrichter]

But he was
wrong, as it's
still alive. Just
like the Big
boy's it's gotten
a second chance
at life.......for

[AlcoRS11Nut]

someone found the resources to restore them

[espeefoamer]

and they are
running next weekend
over Tennesee Pass
which was reopened
three days ago[:p]

[Noah Hofrichter]

We are all
Very happy about
this as we
all Like the

[Anonymous]

way that the

[espeefoamer]

UP runs its
steam railfan trips
[:)][:D][8D]

[espeefoamer]

which attract many
fans and make
lots of money
for UP which
is what they
are really after!

[Noah Hofrichter]

As we reach
post number 1000,
with the big
boys still steaming,
we begin to
wonder "Where are
the Big Boys
actually headed to?"
Could it be

[guilfordrr]

The North Pole?
Argentina? Who knows?

[UPTRAIN]

or St. Louis

[Noah Hofrichter]

Where ever they
go, they are
sure to be
watched by all
the railfans in
the area, who
are eager to

[espeefoamer]

ride,take pictures
and chase the
big beautiful locomotive
race past at
full track speed[:)].

[Noah Hofrichter]

On their way
to no where
in particular, just

[espeefoamer]

keeping railfans happy
hoping we'll forget
their heavy handed
treatment of model
railroad manufacturers
using their various
logos on models

[Noah Hofrichter]

which most have
not forgotten, so
they have begun

[espeefoamer]

to strand freight
trains on the
main line with
no crews,send
shipments to the
wrong city and
call customers to
persuade them to
ship by truck

[Noah Hofrichter]

This is all
been hurting UP
in More ways
than one. It
has begun to
wear them down
(personal note: we all wish!)
but they have
started retaleating by

[espeefoamer]

Lulling us into
apathy by running
special trains to
make us forget
thier real goal
is to buy
every railroad in
the USA and
in Canada too![}:)]

[Noah Hofrichter]

So the Big
Boys keep on
trudging there way
across the USA,
making the railfans
forget, and boy
has it worked
on me!!!![}:)][:P] The
UP set their
next destination for

[espeefoamer]

Horseshoe curve,deep
in NS territory
and their plan
is also working
on me, too.[:p]

[Noah Hofrichter]

As they approched
"the Curve" NS
began to smell
something fishy. So
they decided to

[Anonymous]

Paint everything "Pennsy" and disguise themselves.

[Noah Hofrichter]

As they began
ther plan, the
Big Boys snuck
closer..... and closer......
and closer........untill

[espeefoamer]

the train was
approaching Horseshoe curve
and then suddenly

[Noah Hofrichter]

out popped NS
secret agents, with
