To go one step farther it's for safety in climbing onto moving cars. This type of grab iron was deem to be a mandatory safety appliance by the Interstate Commerce Commission years ago. This side iron is for ease of swinging onto the steps of the caboose. The radius of the iron makes it easy for the hand that you are using, to slide up the curve portion of the iron. Unfortunately all the fun is gone now as the new rules by most major RRs is no getting on or off moving equipment. <br /> <br />Rip
