The Last Train Out

Note: These are actual images of the Locomotive in 2007.


The only interesting thing about this story in the Salem News... is that it is a front page story.

Read the Salem News story here.
Here is a link to some details about this Locomotive.

Let's consider this for a second here... we have the financial world pretty much crumbling down around us, Detroit begging on its knees, Investment managers leaping off ledges and a new President Elect getting his house in order... not to mention a little issue of a war on two fronts...

And the Salem News decides that the top
story is the ALREADY REPORTED information that ex-Public Services Director Dick Carnevale needs to remove his unrestored Railroad engine from the DPW parking lot.

My take on this is a little different than most... I think this shows that the Mayor (or City Hall folks in general perhaps) is not really happy with Mr. Carnevale. This smacks of a quick slap in the face for some cheap GOTCHA! on the part of City Hall.

Many folks who post on the blogs and the SN site have long said that Mayor Bonfanti has an "in" at the Salem News... perhaps this is a sign that this is very true.

It also might be one more way for City Hall to try and distance themselves from any 'developments' that so many people are hinting about.

Is that the train?

That train is an image from the web. It is not the train at Public Services.

I have changed the post to include ACTUAL PICTURES of the real locomotive.

The web image has been removed.
