The Train Has Left the Station

Rudegeair's Rootin' Tootin' Rideable Railroad, the novelty miniature train maintained by Old Mr. Rudegeair of the Gumper Junction Rudegeairs, will cease operations today after fifty-odd years of entertaining the youth of Waffle Town. Said the proprietor, "In the twilight of my life I find myself without direction or purpose, and to continue operating a small electric train would be a shameful hypocrisy." We can only agree, and wish Old Mr. Rudegeair the best of luck on his next journey.
