Getting ready to leave town.

September 7th, 1940.

It was a cool cloudy morning in Chama, N.M. The K-36 class were out getting ready for work. Jennifer #489, was waiting inpatiently as a workman was making adjustments to her snowplow.

"There," he said "it should do."

"It feels loose," said Jennifer crossly," It's off balance."

The worker did his best, but with Jennifer complaining, it made the job difficult. "Why do make this so hard?" shouted the workman.

"Don't you raise your voice to me, I can't help it if you can't do your job property!"

Just then Emily #487 slowly puff up with a string of Gramps tankers.

"You know winter is coming, and without that snow plow you could be stuck on the pass, the weather changes all the time in the-"

"I wasn't built yesterday!" Jennifer said, "I just hate these cumber things, they make us look awkward."

Emily signed, "Say what you want sis, but when the snow comes you'll be thank full. When you are ready I need your help with these tankers up Cumbres Pass."

The worker was finished and Jennifer backed up in the yard to the south end to pick the caboose. Marty the little speeder watch as the two engines got ready and headed out of town. "That mouth of her's is bigger than her plow."
