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.

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!!

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.

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...
