Yeah. He closed by saying that if and when Choo-Choo Eddie restores 3985, it will be "better than new like the 4014, not held together with duct tape and string the way the Steve Lee crew did it.". He even claimed that Steve Lee was pushed out of his job because of incompetence and malfeasance. I'm sure he went off after that to watch YouTube videos of his boyfriend Ed hanging out the cab window of 4014 like some wannabee Casey Jones, while playing with himself.
