Familiar with these railroad lines,
Central New York State on time…
Delivery pursuit
Of harvested fruit,
Just up my interest line!
–
One brand using rail there is MOTT’S,
Applesauce, canned fruit, lots…
Activity
The railroad’s busy,
Pulling loads from loading spots.
–
My friends, Jim and Cornelia Mead,
Who on our Honeymoon guaranteed…
A ride on their train
A kind gesture of them,
I helped Tioga Central* succeed!
–
Jim Mead and Ontario Lines,
There railroad experience finds…
And Number Fourteen
Was obtained through them,
For “our” Museum on the main line!
