BRICKSVILLE, CA JUNE 25 2002 – Bricksville now has a new commuter rail powered by a diesel engine for all of its stops. The train will go from Bricksville to Brickston, Vaca, Melands, Bosso, Golden Hut, Courage lake and Port Lunger.

The train will be a great benefit for people commuting into Bricksville and the surrounding area for work, shopping or just to sight see around the area. It uses a gear system to build up speed, in a 2 speed system.

The commuter train brings back memories of old trains, such as the 1981 Vessel passenger train, and the 1989 French train. The 1989 train was both a 4.5 and 12 volt train, while the Vessel was a 12 volt train. The new Commuter train improves on that voltage by being a 9 volt train.

BRICKSVILLE, CA JUNE 25 2002 – There was a stunning development in the trial of Mel Weener for the kidnap and killing of Timmy. Today he plead guilty to his crime before a stunned court room.

“I done it, your honor, I should pay for what I done to that boy.” he is reported to have said before the judge.

After deliberation, the judge pronounced a sentence of 39 years for the crime and Mel Weener was led from the courthouse to be booked for the state jail where he will serve out his term. Hank Jawhorn was seen talking to Mel Weener about a recent killing of a policeman to see if he might have information of individuals who participated in the crime. This crime occurred in Bosso.

Jane Weener was quoted as saying earlier, “Mel Weener killed a cop”, so this investigation may relate to that statement as well.
