AC HD Historic 0-4-0 Steam Locomotive in Pomona, NJ

Oh, yous won't believe my morning at the 34th Street Wawa. I ran into Pink, you know, our neighbor who seems to think every day is senior skip day? We started gabbing about the eternal mystery that haunts us all: where does the Shoobie line really start? Personally, I think it's somewhere around Exit 82 on the Parkway. But hey, that's just me. We could argue all day long about it, but who has the time when there's so much to do down the shore? Speaking of highlights, our chat took a delightful turn to the AC HD Historic 0-4-0 Steam Locomotive over in Pomona. Now, hon, if you haven't checked out this gem, you’re missing out. It's like finding a piece of history parked right next to a Harley dealership. I mean, how Jersey is that? Folks around here are raving about it. One chatterbox mentioned the locomotive's life story—it's like something out of a blockbuster movie. This little engine that could was once part of the U.S. Navy's shipyards, helping build the battleship U.S.S. New Jersey. After its military days, it was tossed around scrap yards until it was traded for a decked-out Harley. I mean, talk about a glow-up! And the name, 0-4-0? It sounds like a secret code, but it's just train talk for two driven axles and four driven wheels. But let's be honest, I just think it looks cool in its Harley Davidson colors. People say it's a fantastic 'calling card' for the dealership. It's like a beacon for anyone who loves a bit of history mixed with their horsepower. So, if you find yourself wandering around Pomona with a hankering for some local history, make sure to swing by and give it a look-see. You'll leave with a new appreciation for steam power, and maybe a little itch to hop on a Harley yourself. Alright, hon, that's enough jawing for today. I'll catch you on the flip side, unless you beat me to Wawa first.
