I went to conductor class with some guys who hired out on the former Frisco....they came out of the woods of Arkansas.....these dumb bastards made Ghostly look like a Rhodes Scholar. The highest test score for these guys was 49%. The instructor was a Frisco guy and he ripped them a new ass. He said he could go to the city mission in KC and give some winos the test and they would get a higher score.

I may remember a work train that was a on-going card game for six weeks or so. Maybe I heard about it. Yeah, that's got to be it.

Got a cab ride in BN 5789 in Trinidad Colorado in 1984.
First thing I noticed when I walked in the cab were these cool seats with the
Frisco inprinted.
BN put that ugly yellow "snowplow" light on the top and probably disconnected the Mars Light.
It looked better in RaceHorse Red and White.
Heh, supposedly this is one of few U30B's saved.
Remember pacing a Frisco train while driving down I-44 west of St. Louis for several miles, circa January, 1976, led by the power Clavalin refers to.
Krink, those GAWDFORSAKEN seats bring back a lot of bad POS rides on those miserable MF'ers. *cy*

Snippy qualified on that 3902k--long-hooding with the dymatic brake popping out. (EMD control stand.) RFE got off and told Snippy he shouldn't be using the air. The video could have been Snippy, but it wasn't. Give it six months....
Triviata: Do you know what happened between the video and the Tr0ll picture?

Snippy sobs uncontrollably that someone has posted images of his worst nightmares. Tears of rust stream down the tin phace.
