   	It certainly helps he shows up rarely; given that Triumph has   
   a pretty limited joke range it's much better that he be on not so   
   very often.

   	Well, but those things make sense to save.  And are fascinating   
   reading on their own.   
      
   	-- Say, a couple months back as I was packing up my Singapore   
   apartment and didn't have time or space to buy new books I ran across   
   a new book with a name along the lines of 'The Men Who Loved Trains',   
   a new look at the Penn Central collapse and the staggering out of   
   Amtrak and Conrail and the like.  Have you read it and is it worth the   
   read, given that I already have 'The Wreck of the Penn Central' from   
   way back when?
