Steve''''  thanks for the memory....Someone at the RI I used to work with used 
to refer to said "tobacco...as  "THAT WACKY TOBACCY"


Hadn't thought about that for many moons.

Or going home on the late nite dinky and walk thru the smoker full of that 
wacky tobacco you would float between cars. Often good peek shows as well.

As Paul Harvey used to say "the rest of the story" as smelly and eye watering 
as working the smokers on a dinky could be; there was the other side..... There 
was nothing like walking into a full coach,eastbound in the morning and getting 
a full waft of a couple dozen or more perfumes. It was better than a cosmetic 
counter at a store. Fully more fragrant than any florists. And then there was 
eye appeal of the seat occupants wearing the perfumes !

No need to go to a bar to meet the opposite sex. Pretty young female support 
staff, in the age before computers, and young,or even middle aged males dressed 
in tailored dark blue uniforms with all the attributes of authority. Well let's 
just say many a trainman met his wife on a dinky.
