I think he was joking. The whole thread has been in the fantasy realm. No harm
no foul.

What does "Get'em good & mad" mean? Who is supposed to be
mad and why? Can't you stick with real Trackage on real
Railroads.

As long as we're in the realm of fantasy football here, the most delicious
irony would be to do one up in some imaginary UPD&G scheme. For those who
don't know, that's "Union Pacific Denver and Gulf," an 1890s-era predecessor
of the Colorado and Southern. As you can imagine, that railroad had some
pretty florid, late-Victorian heraldry. Put it on one of the BNSF units -
maybe on something kinda old, used in switching service - and operate it
where the line crosses or runs parallel and close to the real Union Pacific.
Get'em good & mad.
