Santa Claus paid a visit to the HRC on Christmas Eve and left behind a large orange and blue colored box with a label addressed to Double E. Upon awakening the next morning Double E was greatly surprised to see Santa had left him a present. Thinking he likely had not been good enough in 2017 Double E made a valiant effort to be good and righteous during the waning days before Christmas. Fully expecting coal Double E was astonished when he opened the orange box and discovered 2 Lionel full scale 87' boxcars lettered in the NYC livery. Even more astonished was Double E's lifelong CFO who had a firm belief that Double E had a lock on a large lump of coal.
The cars are numbered 67288 and 67367. The details and paint job are terrific and they are massive in size.
While no public announcement has yet to be made, it is rumored that there is a local automobile radio manufacturer getting ready to build a plant over on the west side of Hoschton.
Special credit to my train buds John, Neal and Ralph for showing me just what I was missing out on not having any 86 footers.
