Chapter 6-Casey's Gulf Mobile & Ohio Pass

Painting Johnson's office was a great opportunity for Casey.  He now held a pass for the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad.  At Union Station, Casey picked up a timetable and saw its route, which headed to cities such as Memphis, New Orleans and Montgomery.
Casey pictured his ability to stretch his territory.  He had been to New Orleans twice and had seen the brightly painted buildings.  He knew it would be a great city to be able to visit.
He saw that Gulf Mobile & Ohio's Abraham Lincoln could get him back to Chicago.  Having made a few sales and having received the great asset of the pass he held, Casey smiled as he the conductor called, "All aboard."
The brightly painted red and maroon E7 rolled eastward.  Casey sat in the diner and watched the countryside roll by as he thought about where the next year might take him.
