     Call Texas, and bring Paul down to weld it back to good as new!  All you need now is a hundred gallons of Rust Oleum, and a few cans of WD40, and a couple of wire brushes, and a good steam clean, and a ton of coal, and you are in business!  Clean out the fire box, and see if there is a body in there.  Not JH, but the poor engineer, or fireman, who was operating it when it went off the trestle!  JH is under the Jersey turnpike, in a 55 gal drum! :o ;)  They brought one up (old steam engine) in the in the intracoastal in Lake Worth, back in the late 70''s early 80's, that fell off the barge that was bringing it to Lake Worth, or the barge sunk, one or the other, I can't remember which, it was part of the "Celestial Rail way".  Which included the cities of Jupiter, Mars, and some others. just Jupiter, is still there now.    Pretty neat find.  I need to go to work with you as your chronicler, and archiver! ;)  heck I will even remove the hogs from the bumpers, of the vehicles! ;)

there used to be a pretty god sized river that ran right through the middle of Mulberry around the turn of the century. This whole area has been screwed up from the mining
