Default The T206 train tour

The following is my version of what I think may have taken place during "The T206 train tour"

Apologies in advance for my lack of writing skills.

As indicated above Schaefer was a big prankster but there were numerous pranks and mishaps during the tour.

Here are some of the photo's that were taken during the tour.

There were a few pranks pulled by the southern Leaguers

One involved the group that visited the Hindu facility. After visiting that facility they went over to the Old Mill facility where they thought it would be fun to change the color there from black to brown.

after leaving there a couple of the players stumbled on the small Sweet Caporal 649 factory which they then went trough backwards.

This is a picture taken of Wildfire Schulte during his attempt to board the Southern Leaguers Piedmont 350 train.

This is a photo of Ed Willett after a run in with a hockey stick on or near the 350 only train

Eddie Collins had a similar incident involving a hockey stick with his occurring at both the Sovereign facility and the Piedmont 350 only train. If you look closely you can see a little blood
in the upper left corner of the Sovereign photo. The story is that both incidents involved the same person who turned out to be hockey player who hated the name Ed.

Here's a photo of Monte Cross after his bar fight

the next pair of photo's are of the botched attempt at correcting the Joe Doyle mistake. Disregard the black circle on the one as it's a print flaw that was circled on the photo.
0s 4.jpg

This is a picture of McAleese trying to scare Ray Demmitt. It appears that it was successful because it does look like Ray did jump out of his skin briefly.
This was a popular prank especially with the 350 only subjects.

Here we have two of the 350/460 culprits who snuck in the Sweet Caporal 350/460 factory 30 facility before exiting out the back door. Doolan was with the group that almost got
caught and had to leave before finishing the tour.

This is a photo of Red Murray who was one of the subjects that was supposed to be at the Piedmont Factory 42 party but he got drunk before the party and never made it there.
He was however able to convince someone that he did attend the party.
0s 13.jpg

and now we get to the king of pranks who was involved in two of the better pranks

Here he is with two other 460 only subjects Cy Seymour and a young Rube Marquard who joined in with a group of 350/460 subjects in pulling a prank at the Tolstio facility on the group of 12 460 only subjects.
After leaving there they pulled the same prank on the Heroes of history at another facility.
0s 9.jpg

and this is a photo of him while he was with Detroit pulling perhaps his best prank with the Southern Leaguers shortly after his failed attempt to board the Piedmont 350 southern League train.
