That's more than a lot of Cabbage. Imagine If it were Kim Che? Might
make a stockcar special seem pale by comparison.

On another issue, Gordon, this is great the local N&W railroad related
news which you always seem to have to share with us here, centered
around Bluefield. Gee, "if only" others could share from other regions
in a manner similar to your doing for these olde tyme tales are always
nothing short of great. Thank you for always sharing them.
