One of the locos pulling my Amtrak train last week must have swallowed
a valve or something (which accounted to a bit of the lateness). That
puppy was sending up smoke that rivaled a steam engine. I'm sure it
stunk pretty bad, but the drunkard who had urinated on himself next to
me kinda masked it.
