Puckdropper's Place Announces Acquisition of new rail line
by Pear E. White

In a much anticipated move by analysists, Puckdropper's Place announced their acquisition of the Long and Short Lines, a small railroad consisting of only two locomotives and a handful of freight cars. The LSL interchanges with the Northeast Indiana N-scale railroad, which has been a source of traffic for the industries served by the LSL.

In the deal, Puckdropper's Place acquired all the assets and liabilities of the LSL, and agreed to interchange agreements with the Northeast Indiana N-scale railroad. The former owners of the LSL recieved $250 million in return.

The former owner of the LSL, Paul Tree, stated, "It was time for me to move to other employment opportunities. I am happy Puckdropper's Place was willing to take over and maintain the railroad we worked so hard to build."
