I caught one of your young employees doing something very unsafe while this locomotive was on the move:

This locomotive, the last of the steamers, was on the way to the scrap yard.

By the way, I got his name: Buster Keaton

Have you seen the new Monopoly game?

If you are able to purchase all 4 railroad properties, you get to merge them all into the A&P Rayrode. :mrgreen:

POSSUM LAKE, Ont., Can. (The Onion)-A southbound CR-AP ethanol train derailed today while passing through Possum Lake, Ontario, causing extensive track and signal damage, to be specific, $13 quintillion worth in damage, while also leaking a million tons of Japanese oil onto the surrounding area. This train was led by APRR #8104, a former Norfolk Southern ES44AC (to be specific, the former Lehigh Valley heritage unit), which went straight off the tracks at a curve before the Astro Avenue crossing, before coming to a stop inside a house at 136 Astro (at 1st Street). The train was exactly 2.06633 miles long (thus blocking every crossing between Astro and Keswick Road north of town) and had no buffer car, therefore, the engineer will be fired tonight. Possum Lodge will be closed to all members until the oil is cleaned up, which will take at least two months.

It is unknown if A&P plans on scrapping all GE engines, including the one involved in today's derailment.

The Possum Lake Daily Movement contributed to this report. The press was unable to obtain pictures due to the $100 photography fee.
I feel sorry for anyone involved in this derailment and to anyone in Possum Lake.

A&P has now launched an outdoor advertising division and is now allowing for full-wrap boxcar advertisements. I caught one of these today just before it struck a raised drawbridge in Walla Walla, Oh-high-oh. The lead unit was illegally modified.

Well, I've just written down the name of the person that illegally modified that unit and placed that snowplow on it...

Two important announcements were made today:
  • -First, by special request from the governor, we have abandoned all trackage in the state of Wisconsin, except for the Chicago-Kenosha line, as that's used by the Kenosha Line of our Chicago Commuter System (formerly Metra). We've rerouted the Empire Builder (part of our Long-Distance Passenger System (formerly Amtrak)) via Iowa and have discontinued the Hiawatha (also part of our Long-Distance Passenger System). The trackage that has been torn up will be relaid at our new Walla Walla, Ohio Passenger Coach Repair Shop, which will replace an inadequate facility at Beech Grove, Indiana that was built by Amtrak.
    -Second, since we've scrapped all tea kettles, we've discontinued the Gotham City Money Shuttle, a freight train that transported the fares deposited at stations on our Gotham City Subway System (which we've acquired infinitely ago) and dumped it all into the Atlantic.
