So, the converstation on the radio talked about in part 2 sounded something like this.
TRAIN= SP6803 West to Mojave Yard, Over.
Yard Clerk Tom "Bodacious' Blair= SP Mojave Yard, Over.
Train= Like to place a food order, Over.
Yard Clerk= O.K., go ahead, Over.
Train= We'd like 3 Number 2s, 2 Letter C's, 1 Number SP Detector, Milepost 402.0, No Defects, No Defects, ........Over.
Yard Clerk= O.K., let's see if I got this straight here, you want 3 Number 2s, 2 Letter C's, 1 Number SP Detector, Milepost 402.0, No Defects, No Defects, Over?"
TRAIN=, Uh, Mojave, I just changed my mind, I decided I'm not hungry for that 1 SP Detector, instead I would like, ...........
Then the train repeated to Tom Bodacious Blair the order that they were giving him when the Detector stepped on him! Needless to say, my friend pulled his truck off the road and we just sat there for a few minutes and laughed our rear ends off. But for the Employees, it was no laughing matter.
THE END
