I'm amazed by the speeds they make over some really questionable looking track. Seems that they depend on healthy grass to hold the rails in place!

Aha! The solution to the never ending grass trimming problem on the WW&F!

Hmm... using heavy turf for road bed stabilization.

This could be a sod story with a happy ending!

Oh no! In addition to Fred Morse, Steve Smith, Ed Lecuyer, Ira Schreiber, and Marcel Levesque, we have yet another punster!

It is just a grass routes track.

The Rock Island railroad in its later years was noted for using "gauge grass" to maintain their branch lines.

I understand that on some of the grain gathering branches, the Rock was barley able to maintain the track!

I thought about that all evening. Couldn't come up with crop.

Looks like Ira and John are a cut above the rest.

Ok. Time to mow you all down. It's the only fairway.

I'm hedging that since Start hadn't jumped in earlier, he was green with envy.

John is just trying to weed out the others.

This garden is thick with punsters. The last I checked, "weed" is plural!
I hope no one accuses me of being the fodder of all these puns.

Groan......

Maybe not the fodder but you sure are making hay with them.

john d Stone · « **Reply #11 on:** December 06, 2013, 09:21:13 PM »

Ah, the proper amount of fertilizer will start 'em groan!

Hey Ed, ya better nip this in the bud!

~~Start~~ Stop

No, this thread is starting to grow on me.

Kind of wish I hadn't touched this with a (almost) two foot Pole.
