A couple of years before Deadlands came out I saw a special about mummies
on the discovery channel. They had a picture from the mid-1860's of a
train station in Colorodo that had Egyptian mummies stacked like cordwood
(at least 8' high) next to a locomotive engine. Turns out that the
mummies were a better fuel source than wood or coal because of the oils
and chemicals used to preserve them. So a lot of rail lines had them
shipped in to use in lines that had to make good time by burning hotter.
Since I started playing Deadlands, I have tried tracking that picture
down again with no luck. It still gives me the creeps just thinking about
it. That is just waiting to be turned into a game.
