<p>[quote user="Murphy Siding"] I watched a BNSF empty grain train working it's way through a series of hogbacks recently. Where I was stopped at the crossing, the locomotives had just passed by me. The slack was running in, and making a lot of banging noise. Yet, the locomotives were throttleing up, to climb the next hill. How does the engineer handle all that pushing and pulling without splitting the train?[/quote]</p><p>By staying one step ahead of the slinky toy in his head. You remember those metal childrens toy that walks itself down steps? Do they even make them today?</p>
