April Fools Day Pranks

Well folks, I admit it. I have a weird sense of humor and like to play the occasional trick on people. Using the skills, photo collection and website I have developed here to support the Maine Line, I occasionally like to have a bit of fun by letting my creative (fictional) writing side out. Here are the April Fools Day prank issues I've released. Despite the tongue-in-cheek creative writing, I really do enjoy these issues as they let me do a little fiction in a serious world.

Enjoy!

	Maine Central Messenger 4/1/2022	A re-colored actual cover from the actual Maine Central Messenger, combined with photos pulled from the collection resulted in a cover that, frankly, fooled many!
	Aroostook Interurban 4/1/2024	As far as I know, there was never a magazine / newsletter put out by the Aroostook Valley. This one was created out of thin air, borrowing a Maine Central font (which is a very close match for the AVR that appeared on the 44 tonners) colors from the 44 tonners as well and here we have the Interurban's first issue
	Boston and Maine Employees Magazine 4/1/2025	A re-touched banner from an actual Special Edition of the B&M magazine, some authentic photos, combined with some ideas that might not be as wacky as they seem initially and we arrive at this issue of the Employees Magazine!
	Bangor and Piscataquis Railway, LLC Press Release	A three-page press release, allegedly from a new railroad company, buying out the former B&A rails still owned by CPKC. Rumor has it that this looked authentic enough to fool many people!
