The other day I referred to Breda 1451 which broke down with seized center
truck axles. The shop couldn't get them to turn, so they dragged the poor
beast back to Metro. An operator pulling out a PCC saw the unfortunate
1451 bounce its way through the park. He was glad it didn't derail.
Anyway, I composed a little ditty to commemorate this particular Breda,
which probably won't "turn a wheel in revenue service" (sorry, I couldn't
resist) for quite a while. Here goes:
While traveling to Metro we'd learn
'Bout our Breda whose wheels wouldn't turn.
And when it got there,
Its wheels were square,
And the passengers did a slow burn!
