On the Slubbard Line, from Leviathan to Skeever's Beach, making stops at Flopton, Cantrellish, Blurbury, and Sneef, rolls the Leviathan Express. Efficient, affordable, and luxurious, the Express has served Leviathan well for nearly two centuries. There was a time, however, when amenities we take for granted today were simply not available. Lavatories, for instance. Hence the bucketeers - dapper gentlemen, impeccably dressed, balancing buckets with grace and savoir faire as they navigated the swaying carriages, keeping a pristine environment for the comfort and safety of passengers.
This is a portrait of Willie Ed, last of the great gentleman bucketeers, who retired 75 years ago today.
