Nice Pat. I think that is why so many like T206...it was such a long lasting party train full of print facility shenanigans and players hopping on and off and seemingly disregarding the rules and the paperwork getting all mixed up. It is good we have historians like yourself to try to piece together all the mayhem.

Compare this to the E120 American Caramel Express train...240 subjects, 15 from each team, everyone with their paperwork in order, non-stop through the the never ending flatlands of Middle America. Still a pleasant trip, just straight forward and uneventful, and lacking the intrigue and mayhem that the T206 train line provided in less than 3 years in operation.

Here are photos taken from both sides of the train of a portion of the 34 players that decided to go on that little side tour visit to the Sweet Caporal 649 facility while on the 150 train. The red wristbands (visible in the bottom line of photos taken from the other side of the train) allowed unlimited alcoholic beverages while on this tour, which in hindsight was probably not the wisest of decisions, as is evidenced by the 'worse for wear' condition of most of the players that the photographer captured in his shots.
