There is a great mystery in Cherryvale, Kansas. How does a GG1 come to be pulling into town with the afternoon freight in the middle of the heartland where there's nary a length of catenary anywhere within the entire state? eek Curiosity seekers are beginning to gather.

Perhaps the gentleman who owns this little TV/Radio shop knows:

The door was locked and the showroom empty. We tried knocking on the door but there was no answer.

Just a normal windy day in Kansas. The question is, why did the wind stop blowing at the right time for the GG1 to come to a stop in front of the depot. Hope no one is on the tracks when the wind starts blowing again.

No catenary? Perhaps Nikola Tesla finally achieved his dream of wireless current transmission...

Not visible, but further back in the train there must be a couple of EMD generator cars:
