Ode to the perfect track Warrant....Ill regret this..

[E.M. Bell]

Its almost time for that Christmas eve tradition, the perfect track warrant. Soon things will be shutting down except for a select few trains, but later this evening 61A will run, and get that, the most sought after of orders.  an ode to the event, with thanks to Caleb for the editing.  

"disclaimer..yes, I really WAS that bored last night"


T'was the night before Christmas
And all through the system
Things were quiet
Thanks to NS wisdom

When from the North End Desk there arose such a clatter
That SHF answered to see what was the matter.

Toyota needs steel and real railroaders don't rest
61A is ready to go west

Check box two and get them EMD's humming
West Talmage to Dumesnil no time for GE's burning.

West Talmage, Waddy, Coal Chute and Joyes
Go right on by, no meets tonight boys

The railroad is yours, and we won't put up a fight
Keep them wheels rolling on this holiest of nights.

Merry Christmas yall!!

Ah yes, the most coveted of track warrants:  Check box 2, proceed from West Talmage to Dumesnil.  Even Santa has a hard time getting such a warrant.
