CARTOON ANSWER:

THE PEOPLE ON THE PLATFORM WAVING TO THE DEPARTING TRAIN WERE —

SSYNEARDBTE = “BYE – STANDERS”

Happy Wednesday everyone!  No trouble with any of the clue words this morning, although BEETLE caused me to pause for a couple of seconds.  We’ve seen WIZARD recently so that was probably the easiest of the bunch.  With all of the clue words solved, it was full steam ahead to the cartoon!  When I read the cartoon sentence, I had a feeling that BYE would be the 3-letter word in the solution.  Writing out the letters, BYE was there leaving STANDERS for an instant solve and a quick finish to another great Jumble.  Looking at the cartoon, Jeff gave us two great clues to figure out the locomotive’s location.  The first was the sign on the train that said “Nickel Plate Road” and the second was the station sign of “Fishers”.  Not being a train enthusiast, I had to google both clues together to come up with Fishers, Indiana.  Hopefully our friends near that location can give us some insight into it’s history and importance.  Enjoy your day and I’ll see you tomorrow!
