You should look more closely. There's humor regarding a certain C&O locomotive going on.

Not any more, that I can see.............

The thing that April Fools Day often demonstrates is that very few people on the internet are as funny or clever as they think they are.

OH, so very true.
And the folks who would take issue with this statement are most likely the ones it refers to.

I saw the one of N&W #611 excellently photoshopped in front of the Orbisonia station facing towards EBT #16, with the caption of "Rumors had spread about this meet taking place at Mount Union, but someone made it work system-wide."

N&W isn't C&O.

And that was the creation of a friend of mine. It got shared to a couple other pages, none of them the "official EBT page."The challenge was to create an April Fool's post SO preposterous that no one could POSSIBLY take it seriously. And yet someone did.

And perhaps the fact that apparently some folks here can't distinguish between the EBT's Facebook page and other non-EBT social media pages to which Jonathan's joke was shared bespeaks the gullibility of this crowd.........
