  SPEAKER_01: Why not?
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, you let your kids play on the railroad track.

• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: This was something people did years ago.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: Uh that um uh you if when the train rolled over it, it would obviously disform the penny, it would make it look really different.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: Then if you found yeah, if you found it afterwards, you had this kind of weird-looking cool keepsake, right?
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and uh there was a couple people I that did it in Hornell.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_01: They did, I think, quarters on the track.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Did it work?
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because I've always I've always wondered if it actually works.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: I guess that happened.

• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, go ahead and hit up the Scott and Alley page to see that.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: By the way, random note anybody else uh expect Big Boy to have been belching more smoke and stuff like it was a pretty I mean it was a pretty eco-friendly old steam engine, the way it passed through.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you saw it, but it was not like what you see a lot of times where you see massive plumes coming out.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: At least around here it wasn't.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: They were just cruising along.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: I also thought it was gonna be a little louder, but you know, you know there.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: Very efficient, uh, well, almost 100-year-old train engine.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: So something else that I saw yesterday, not as cool as big boy, but the Prince car is back.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my God! So this goes back to the pandemic.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it does.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it does.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm so glad I'm so glad you remembered this.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: When I drive to work, it usually is around 5.30 in the morning.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: And I would hit the miracle mile right around like 5.28 or something like that.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: I believe the person who owns this car works or worked at a Purillator plant.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: So we were going to work around the same time.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Then all of a sudden, stop seeing it.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: It made me so sad.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: And you gotta realize this car is decked out in print.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like it, it's purple, isn't it?
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh, the car isn't purple, but there's print stickers everywhere.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: And I think there's even like a sticker that says like my other car is a Raspberry Beret or something or a little red color, but yeah.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: And then it's just a really unique car.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: That is just, yeah, you know, it's gonna stand out.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: I saw it the other day.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: Did you wave?
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: No, because I was behind it, but I had so many questions.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking, are you the owner that I used to see every morning at 5.30?
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: New owner?
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: Or new owner who dis?
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_01: Um, how do you find because if you're gonna sell your prince car, and you have to, I mean, do you have to put in the in the ad on Facebook Marketplace, you must be a Prince fan or you will not get the keys to this car.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I think that you do.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: So I was really happy about that.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Keep the uh keep the uh the fun alive.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: If anybody knows anything about the the Prince car, who the person is, is it still the original owner?

• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: So, and um first thing that hits you is how is this car?

• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: Number two.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: But I, you know, and and so you used to see it.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if it's still out there, if anybody else has seen it or knows what happened to it.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: But then there is, and I think it's a Ford, and it's a blue Ford, and it actually parks on the street that the radio station's on.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: We have this secret lab a couple of uh buildings over, and it's like this thing's like way in the back.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: Like they're making a time machine back there.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: I always wonder what they're making back there.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: They're absolutely making a time machine.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: There's like a black hole in Elmira Heights that's waiting to crack open and eat the earth.
