OK........this is slightly risqué, but certainly not vulgar.
Railfans are quite familiar with the esteemed "Cheesie System" logo. #It's been around for over fifty years: #

Many railroads used cute ikons in their advertisments. I have always been enamored of the fictional charecter Phoebe Snow.
Says Phoebe Snow
about to go
upon a trip to Buffalo
"My gown stays white
from morn till night
Upon the Road of Anthracite"
A cosey seat
A dainty treat
Makes Phoebe's happiness complete
with linens white and silver bright
upon the road of Anthracite.
The "Road of Anthracite" was the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, better know as simply "Lackawanna".

Bet you didn't know that Capt. Picard was a model train fan: while on the Bridge he'd say, "Number One: N-gauge!"
(Okay, lame pun but it's late and I'm tired. Ciao!)

The Pheobe Snow used to run on the Lackawanna Cutoff (http://www.njskylands.com/hscutoff.htm), which is just 300 yards from my house, across the street. The Roseville Tunnel, mentioned on the web page, is just 500 yards away.
The track is gone, torn up in 1984 (I think). The right of way is used by noisy ATVs and dirtbikes. The tunnel is often used by kids partying. NJ Transit wants to restore the line as a commuter route, but the NIMBYs are whining. I'd rather have the trains than ATVs and drunk/stoned teenagers.

Hey, that works for me!
Although I prefer O Scale myself.

I grew Up in Newport News Va. That was the eastern terminus for the C&O Railroad. The railroad sent PR people to visit classes at all the elementary schools. They'd hand out pencils, paper pads, etc, all with the famous "Chessie Cat" mascot photo. I'd have dearly loved a copy of the new photo during high school!
We can call this new one "Chesty Cat". http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
