Title: Fiddletown & Copperopolis

I had to do this, check both in Google Maps...

Guess what? Both result in actual locations...

They are about 50 miles apart, East South East of Sacremento...

Ah., but - is there a railroad connecting them????
(or does the "satellite" image show the remains of one?)

well done Hugh; have spent all day trying to think of a suitable response. I am not unduly surprised as it was topical cartoon stuff at the time

Hi Guys,

I can't really see one. I didn't expect one either!

I merely took it as an example of no matter how the place name might be there could well be one in the U.S.!

Trains,
