A government hormone growth experiment gone completely haywire resulted in the creation of a GIANT toddler, who promptly invaded the Youngstown & Southern RR over the weekend.
First reports stated that the giant SEEMED benevolent, and was merely concerned with observing we tiny earthlings...
Just watching....lulling the inhabitants into a sense of false security...
Then from his vantage point in the Youngstown Yards, Y&S Yardmaster E.J. Voorhis reported that things started heating up...FAST
First victims... the vehicles... which held a deep fascination...especially how they glided along the steel tracks...
Then the earthlings came next, although he handled them with surprising gentleness, as though more curious than hungry.
But this attitude did not convince Y&S Engineer M.R. Strosnider, who fainted dead away at the merest touch of the giant toddler's hand.
Then, in an act of courage and heroism beyond comprehension, Mrs. Alice Henderson, wife of Conductor P.J. Henderson, took it upon herself to go to the scene of the invasion and confront the inexcusable behavior of the mighty toddler.
Spotting her no-nonsense attitude and aware of what would happen if he stayed around to face her wrath, he quickly escaped to the distant hills, never to be seen again.
All that remains of this extraordinary visit, is the debris of his passing. Easily reparable, of course. But not the memories of that amazing day when a"Mighty Colossus" strode forth upon the Y&S right-of-way, in search of fun... and found it full measure.
And believe me, he did...
Thank you
