Nostalgia & History > Extra Jokers On The RailroadDate: 03/20/17 10:54 Extra Jokers On The Railroad Author: walstib As if there weren't already enough jokers on the railroad, the Union Pacific used to have extra jokers.
"Be specific, say Union Pacific." I picked up this deck of playing cards for $5 last week.  Date: 03/20/17 11:51 Re: Extra Jokers On The Railroad Author: fbe Yet another level of management. Always better if you can set them aside and not need to put them into play.
