FUTURE RAILROAD TYCOON ORDERS TRAIN FROM ROBERTSDALE YACHT CLUB

Posted

The Robertsdale Railroad Manufacturing Division (RRMD) of the Robertsdale Yacht Club, (the only land-locked yacht club in Robertsdale), is pleased to announce the completion of its first high tech steam engine.

Ordered in secret from C. Taggart, age 3 of New York City, future railroad tycoon, the TTTE was recently completed by the chief railroad design engineers, Dana E. Hall and Ted Riccio.

Mr. C. Taggart explained his need for a switching engine for the proposed massive switch yards planned east of Robertsdale (probably my back yard).  The need for a powerful engine drove the Robertsdale Research and Development Division (commonly known as “The Possum Works”) to the development of a three stage, high pressure, super-heated steam, regenerative boiler with quark busting technology.  This radical development in boiler technology has provided a powerplant so efficient that at over 65% throttle setting it actually produces more energy than it consumes. 

Mr. C. Taggart’s vision is to establish a high-speed rail link between the Bronx in New York City and Robertsdale, AL. with connecting high-speed spurs to Elsanor and Rosinton.  This, of course, would allow short travel times to visit his grandparents. 

The TTTE was built in the RRMD facility in Robertsdale using the proven high- technology material developed by The Possum Works scientists.  This is the same proprietary naturally forming cellulose composite material used on the Air Ripper series airplanes.  The patent-pending power coupling system was developed in conjunction with NexGen Power Trans Systems owned and operated by a mysterious Theoretical Propulsion scientist known only as “Mark.”

The exterior design details were provided by Mimi’s Art Works who is also a relative of Mr. C. Taggart.  The custom interior furnishings were designed by Charlotte of Got You Covered.  When Charlotte was offered the opportunity to contribute to this one-of-a-kind train, she immediately flew in from Europe (that’s near Bon Secour) to oversee every detail.

The TTTE was delivered on Mr. C. Taggart’s birthday and, by all accounts, he was very pleased.  Accompanied by his able assistants, Mom and Dad, he immediately took it for a spin around his soon-to-be lavish penthouse, scenes of which can be viewed on http://youtu.be/jtLYcsfRDQ.

The entire staff of The Robertsdale Yacht Club is looking forward to its next, as yet undisclosed, project.
