Some loyal followers of this didactic chronicle of railroad happenins' may recognize a few of these oft used aliases once common in conversations and radio transmissions on the C&I. Some were applied to Snuffy's as well. Most will appreciate my reluctance to identify the real names of these individuals. If a particular nickname appeals to someone, I will explain, to the best of my ability, the causation of the often unflattering "handle".

Goon Belly - Breathless - Velvet - Toot Toot - Slick - Deputy Dog - Babe or Hub Caps - Rabitt - Flash - Cement Head - Cute Little Fella - Sweet Corn - Honest John - Que Ball - Disaster Dan - Bones - Harpo - Cain't Heppit - Ol'Dad - Rigor Mortis - Sport - Meatball - Teddy Bear - Jeep - Bed Sores - Tom Cat - Gentle Ben - Izzy - Fat Boy - Reverend and, one of my personal favorites - Raaalllph.

Maybe a few I forgot - but not many.

Karl
