The inside joke here: a very well known model railroader friend of mine, Whit Towers, had a railroad called the "Alturas & Lone Pine." He sent me a set of his decals to apply to one of my cars. Instead of lettering it properly, I rearranged the "Lone Pine" to read "Leone Pin."
It was pretty funny at the time. Really.
Maybe you had to be there...
