Railroad Shops

Famous quotes containing the words railroad and/or shops:

    People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other children but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    Now in contiguous drops the flood comes down,
    Threat’ning with deluge this devoted town.
    To shops in crowds the daggled females fly,
    Pretend to cheapen goods, but nothing buy.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
