A Little Halloween Fun (semi off topic) - Model Railroader Magazine

1960s JNR speed script - the top of the R is solid.

As halloween approaches the crew is checking 604 and 6007 before their semi-annual steam-up.  The GG1 is over the pit having her gears and bearings greased.  Shortly 6007 will run light, in reverse, from the cassette dock to Tomikawa.  (No way to turn an engine that long at Tomikawa.)  The GG1 will power #25 from Minamijima to Tomikawa, to be replaced in turn by 6007 when the GG1 reaches the end of catenary.  On the return trip, 604 will take #26 to Tomikawa, where the GG1 will be ready to run it to its cassette until April Fool's day, the next time those over-gauge (4'8.5" vs 3'6",) under-scale (!:87, not 1:80) monsters will pass through the Central Japan Alps.  604 will run light to the same cassette by way of Takami.

So how does the most famous NYC train get Pennsy power under catenary and N&W power up the single track where wire is spoken of in future tense?  In Universe #13, the Ballox O'Malley universe, strange things happen.
