Mr. Leaver was a New Haven Railroad engineer who used to like to go faster than he was supposed to on the "Shore Line" route to Boston. One time, he stopped the train abruptly at Sharon, MA to go out and collect his false teeth that had fallen from his mouth and out of the cab. He found them after a few minutes, got back in the engine, and high-balled it into Boston.

My grandfather, Edmund Leaver had his train set up in the backyard in Rhode island in the 1950s when I was a child.
