Then, from the east side of the pass, two lonely figures came walking up the line. One was a red fox, the other was a hound dog; both of them in their thirties.

"I can't believe we got stuck with signal maintenance again, Copper..." the fox groaned, "You would think that we'd get a decent job after a full year of this."

"Oh don't start moaning again, Tod..." the hound admonished, "It may be cold, lonely, and thankless, but somebody's gotta make sure the trains stay on the track and don't crash into each other."

"I know..." Tod grumbled, "Hey, you hear about the new streamliners that are supposed to be coming into service by the end of the month?"

"I have;" said Copper, "They say those newfangled engines are capable of breaking one hundred miles per hour on the regular." He looked over at the steep drop-off to his left. "Not up here, though." After walking a few more paces, Copper raised his ears.

"What is it, Copper?" asked Tod.

"I... I thought I heard... laughter..." said Copper, "Naw... it couldn't be."

"Yeah;" said Tod, "They don't allow people to walk on the railroad tracks anymore; not like we did back in the day."

"Oh I remember that;" said Copper, "Used to be the fastest way to get into and out of town if we couldn't get a ride."

"Hey..." said Tod, "Remember that time we went fishing on the old creek bridge back in nineteen-ten?"

"I do remember!" said Copper, "We found out the hard way that an express train was coming through and had to go for an unscheduled swim!"

"And Mister Slade was so mad!!" They said in unison. After a hearty chuckle, the two friends frowned again.

"It's all slipping away from us now, Tod..." said Copper, gloomily.
