Tribute to Brother Love!  - You've Got Issues!

YOU BE BUGGIN' OUT - HE THINKS HE'S MR. ALL THAT

DON'T GO THERE - - - TALK TO THE HAND!

I'M ON IT LIKE A HON-NIT! --- YOU HAVE ISSUES!


Welcome to my very own tribute to a true legend of railroading, Leon "Brother Love" Pinkney.

To the right you see one of my most famous railroad photographs of all time.

This is Leon meditating on Train #94, August 1995.

Below you see a train wreck. If this occurred while making up trains at Southampton Street Yard, chances are Leon was involved.

Here is Brother Love's Dream Mobile. He spent a fortune on this bike. Besides being reliable transportation, he can also eat it if he gets hungry.

Here's another special moment. Conductor Leon stands next to the Mail Train that he sent down an occupied track in Southampton Street Yard. The Produce Line Managers were on the scene moments later to give out hot dogs and bags of potato chips.
