Okay, Forumites, here's a quiz:
Which wrench-weilding, nut splitting, valve-setting, wire twisting, megger-cranking, fire breathing, anti-smoke, anti-lashup, close-coupling, crown sheet-covering, coal-shoveling, oil-atomizing, know-your-job, do-your-job, be-right-or-be-humbled, beer-running, train-drinking, no-nonsense General Manager and Master Mechanic of a terminal railroad company and colorful member of the OGR Forum will be celebrating the anniversary of his first breath, which occurred so long ago that Lima had not yet built the 765 or the 4449, Alco had not yet built the 844, 3985, or 261, Alco-GE diesel electrics were already laying down smoke trails in yards and on passenger trains, and some "other" locomotive builder was trying to kill the steam engine?
Hint: He could celebrate by lighting (with a fusee, of course) 35 big candles placed atop each side of the 4449's boiler.
Now, who could that be . . . ?
