    Since this was given me by an old NKP/NYC employee, I thought it good enough to post here. It does seem to represent the older railroads very well.

    Is more powerful than a locomotive.
    Is faster than a speeding bullet.
    Walks on water.

    Vice President:
    Leaps short buildings in a single bound.
    Is more powerful than a switch engine.
    I just as fast as a speeding bullet.
    Talks with Cod.

    General Superintendent:
    Leaps short buildings with a running start and favorable winds.
    Is almost as powerful as switch engine.
    Is faster than a speeding BB.
    Walks on the water in an indoor swimming pool.
    Talks with God if special request is approved.

    Superintendent:

    Loses tug of war with a locomotive.

    Yardmaster:
    Falls over doorsteps when. trying to enter buildings.
    Says, "Look at the choo-choo."
    Wets himself with a water pistol.
    Plays in mud puddles.
    Mumbles to himself.

    Conductor:
