Here's is engine number 37
Unfortunately, I do not remember where or when the photo was taken. It might have been on the Wilmington & Western line in the late 1990s. Scanned from 35mm slide and mildly Photoshopped to correct color errors.

Morris and His Close Personal Friend

It seems like some people just cannot get along.

But our dog pal, Morris, was not like that. He had a large number of friends of all persuasions.  In this photograph we see him with one of his closest pals, Uni the cat.  Like Morris, Uni was rescued from dire circumstances.  He came to live in a nice warm home, and when Morris moved in after his dramatic rescue, Uni was a one-cat welcoming committee.

From the very moment they met, they were friends.  They often spent time together, exactly like you see in this photograph. In fact, very often when Morris went upstairs to the second floor Uni would follow him.  Later, when Uni went back downstairs Morris went along, too.

Morris and Uni did not argue or say bad words to each other.  I am not sure if they agreed on all topics and points of discussion, but if they had their differences it did not show. These two friends never had a disagreement.

That’s pretty amazing, don’t you think?
