Your very welcome hun. Why dont you have a go at this steamy fic then? I know you could do it. Go on..you know ya wanna. Get those carnal thoughts flowing kiddo.
I think I have the "technical background" to write an AU railroad story, but it wouldn't be what Eric is looking for. It would just be another of my PG-rated AU exercises, and the steam would come from a locomotive, not from the boys. ...
There is 'Union Pacific' by Maggie, although it's not about the railroad as such.It's the first of a trilogy, and it's excellent!
