Gather round' my new found friends, Allow me to tell you another story of Len's... Well whatever you call it.

A Long time friend of mine who has been working with steam locomotives since the 1970s told this story to me.
Just for the sake of confusing this Tub-o-Lard I'll call this friend Alex. I hope you other Kiwis understand the need to keep names out of this. I don't mind sharing stories, However the people that WORK FOR THE RAILROAD don't want their names dragged into the rantings of a walking Jello plate.

Anyways, On with the story.
This took place at Steamtown as the story goes, Altho it isn't clear when. Probably sometime from late 99 to 2001 Ish.
It happened while CP 2317 was operating, So those with the knowledge help me out here.

One look at Len's youtube channel will show that he is obsessed with trying to get the "Behind the curtain" material.
IE: "I'll take pictures of the stuff the other foamers can't see so I'll feel important" that type of thing.

Len had been pestering the crew to allow him to ride in the cab of the locomotive on one of the longer trips to either Moscow or Tobyhanna. For those without knowledge, A Steam locomotive cab is hot, Cramp and uncomfortable at the best of times. Not very many people from the General public ever get a look at the cab of a steam locomotive, Especially when it's "Under Steam".
The crew said no with the concern that, since the train would be operating on another railroad for some of the trip, It wouldn't be a good idea to have a non-crew member in the cab. Len took this as an insult and began a temper-tantrum on how he was an expert on these matters and he couldn't possibly get hurt. The crew brushed him off and they left Len at the park looking very angry.

Len wasn't about to give up, And he did something that I couldn't believe he would stoop this low.. (Until I heard about the incident with the tie plates at Strasburg)

On the return trip, the steam locomotive has to run backwards and for the last few miles into scranton.. It's uphill. They pass through a tunnel somewhere on that grade.
Len had apparently taken a tube of grease, Driven then walked to the bottom end of the tunnel. (The end the train would enter from while working uphill) and in the time the train had been gone.. He had greased the rails from about 100 feet infront of the tunnel to about halfway through the tunnel.

Upon encountering the grease, The locomotive slipped fiercely and almost stalled in the tunnel. The passengers were covered in layers of soot and were rightfully pissed. The Conductor caught a glimpse of a familiar gut running back to his car after the engine had cleared.. Maybe it didn't cross his mind that the engine crew weren't the only one with eyes.

Len was later asked about the incident and he denied it of course. Funny tho, as he left that day some grease tubes fell out of his car when he opened the door.
As much as I'm sure Shaner likes anal, I don't think these grease tubes were for that.


Anyways, This is an odd story and I've got a few more I need to share before something happens. I've been waiting to find a place to dump all the Len stories.. Glad I found it.


Thanks,
TopHat.

Holy shit. Thank you for sharing that with us. Normally I'd be skeptical---I was of both @Pocket_Sand! & @Gook Choy, initially---but that sounds pretty much exactly like something Len would do.
I think the thing that really jumps out at me is that the man who'd go through all that trouble to grease the tracks out of sheer petulance is the same man who would shit himself to get out of work. It's mind-boggling.

 

[TopHat]

Honestly, I wouldn't have posted this story unless I trusted the source.

I've know "Alex" for 9 years now. He isn't one to just make up a story to smite someone. I confirmed this story with a number of friends of mine in the industry or that work at Steamtown.

While the locomotive and the time frame of the story sometimes gets changed around, it's always Shaner.

 

[Jashinist]

I honestly cannot believe Len keeps up with the "46" bullshit. He looks like a hard-ridden 60.

Can we have this and the other stories (past and future stories) in comic form?, I really enjoy reading them and I'm certain that having them illustrated would blow my mind and would make it really fun for newcomers to learn all about Len.

This is a great idea.
Also if I've learned anything from this thread its that len is basically an autistic Wile e. Coyote.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Wow, I missed out on a grade-A spergfest, didn't I?

Speaking of the Facebook page, here's the story of a potential white knight (probable cool guy?) getting turned away from Shaner due to incessant racism.

What is this witchcraft? More than one person named Lee Parker?! Obvious troll!

"With all the people making fake accounts out here". Did the master of sockpuppetry himself seriously just criticize people for making fake accounts? That's unbelievably rich...

And potential white knight is averted. Well done, Mr. Shaner. You should get a medal for your brilliance.

Woah, someone tried to White Knight him? That's a shock. I'm just glad she came to her senses. Maybe someone should have told her that the account was headed by Shaner.

Also, I normally don't say this, but I really want to see an ED page on Shaney now.

Popping off for a week-long trip and not keeping up with forums was a bad idea. "Hey", I thought, "wading through a couple of hundred pages was easy the first time around." ...didn't think I'd actually need to do that again. Tip: Get good coffee if you plan reading this thread. (Not bad coffee. It might give you the shaners.)

Shower thought:
Being an amateur photographer I occasionally run into clueless people who keep saying "What exactly makes photography art? Photographers just point a camera some way and push a button."
...for some reason, I kept thinking of Lenny's photos. There's just something about them that sets them apart from photographs other people might take. Even if you knew little about Len, you could pick up a bunch of these photos, take a long look at them and I bet you'll start feeling that something is clearly wrong here.
And after hearing about Len's antics, you may start thinking "hmm, the guy thinks he's such a good photographer, but I don't see it."
The thing about many forms of art is that arrogance and pretentiousness definitely gets carried through. So yeah, photography is a form of art. If it can make you facepalm, it's art.

 

[PacSol]

Admittedly, that Winner was largely for the turn of phrase "give you the shaners".

Can't take credit for that, it was said by someone in the pizza discussions million pages back. (please make that a thing)

 

[Dr. Tremolo]

I'm surprised they didn't tar and feather Len after that shenanigan.
The mention of "Moscow" confused me a little before I realized that of course there's such a place in Pennsylvania. But that only reminds me, I can only imagine what'd happen if Len started goofing around on Russian railways - like the famous trans-Siberian railroad...
Not implying that Len would ever have the ambition to visit abroad to look at trains around the world, but he would get legitimately beat up there.

 

[The Red Baron]

Sorry that I've been absent, as I've been doing all sorts of things Lenny can't - working on trains, spending time with girls, seeing my own toes when I walk - and it's kept me busy.

TopHat's story is mostly true. The years get changed, but the engine in question ran off and on for some two decades. The last time it ran on a mainline trip to Moscow (PA) was 2008 I believe. There's a 15 year span of time when the story could have taken place, but anyway...

The pleading to get into the cab, the greasing of the rails - that's all true! Only factual error is that the engine wasn't running backwards, as the tunnel is uphill when the engine leaves town and downhill when it backs into Scranton after going to Moscow. It could have been "revenge" or Len's attempt to get some dramatic footage on whatever shitty camera he was using. Steam locomotives are very loud and belch tons of smoke when the wheels slip on the rails and I guess it makes for interesting pictures.

It's funny how Len has always played the victim yet the mere mention of his name will bring a look of disgust to the face of anyone who has ever had even a slight interest in trains in Pennsylvania.

So Lenny, in case you're watching, here's the score:

You have plagiarized pictures and writing and been busted.
You have trespassed and been busted.
You have stolen and been busted.
You have made fake Facebook pages pretending to be railroad workers and been busted.
You have impersonated federal employees on internet forums and been busted.
You have creeped on women and been busted.
You have lied about your age and been busted.
You lied about running steam locomotives and been busted.

You are a terrible photographer and an awful writer. You will NEVER be welcome at any railroad, let alone work for one.

I have to go now, recounting this story has given me a bad case of the shaners. Yes, that's a thing now.

 

[Bassomatic]

Wow another attempt and risk of derailment and death all because Len doesn't get his way.
That's insane.

Just another day for Lenny boy.....

Still not sure on the credibility of Parker Lee... but it's nice to see Len react to everyone with paranoia and irrationality. Like normal people!

OK, Len. I know you lurk the Farms. Here's a quick multiple choice question. If you answer it correctly, we will delete the thread and the Lenspiracy will all go away. Hell, there's only ONE wrong answer, Len! You can't screw this up!

What are all possible scenarios that you can do to respond to someone preventing you from doing something you want that are not extremely irrational and/or autistic?

A) Accept that you cannot change their opinion and move on.
B) Whine and pout like a little bitch but move on.
C) Complain to other people that you are being unfairly treated.
D) Persist in asking until they tell you to knock it off.
E) Potentially cause a huge incident and lead to the potential deaths of dozens of innocent people that have no relation to you becauss someone told you to piss off.

Trust me. I have contacts with Dear Leader, Mr. Sears, the Colebrookdale Railroad, the FBI, the mafia, AND President Obama. Just post the correct response here, on PM, or even on Facebook and I'll work on getting you your own personal locomotive.

 

[Zim]

I wonder what part of me being self employed Leonard F. Shaner Jr. doesn't understand? All of it? I'm thinking it's all of it. Anyway, for your amusement.

[Rin]

Ugh, this is starting to get seriously bad. I don't want the real Matt losing his job or something over internet drama he didn't even get to take part in. Maybe it's autistic of me to worry about it, but Shaner can kick up a real fuss when he feels like it, and companies have a tendency to take the path of least resistance.

Matt strikes me as the type of guy that has a lot of veterancy in his position. Len isn't able to kick up enough dirt for a company to just drop him at the tip of the hat without even the most cursory investigation, and you could debunk Len's bullshit easier than you could take a math test designed for 1st graders.

But if Len continues doing this, I think he might piss off enough people that they might actually feel that filing charges against the autistic foamer might actually be worth it. So... Len, here's some legit advice.

Knock it off before you piss someone off that'll do something about it.
