Thread Name: Origins: Reuben's Train - who was Reuben?
Subject: RE: Origins: Reuben's Train
I'm thinking it's kind of hard to be a subject when you don't have a narrative.

If there's anything to it, the proof will be in the back story, outside of Arthur's generic lyrical buffet.

The Madison Incline has always been more interesting to me because of its builders. The main topo feature is 'Irish Hollow' and the adjacent camp road is 'Paddys Lane'

They finished about 1840 and by 1870, right through the Civil war and before Wells was even promoted, they had fought, cut and filled their way west clear across the Indian Nations to Immigrant Gap, UT. and the Mormon Saints and Chinese Celestials headed back East.

The great bucolic plague and nary a WASP in sight!
