<p>[quote user="Soo 6604"]</p><p>Now with the study. I caught 9 trains and instead of waving, I gave them all the "One Finger Salute", and you know what? You guessed it. Every engineer and conductor (on the southbounds) gave me the finger back. They even opened the window to make sure that I saw them saluting me back. Two of them even blew the horn to make sure that they had my attention. They had a meet down south of me a few miles and the southbound even gave the northbound a heads-up on a potential bird. Sure enough, when the northbound came, I saw a double bird a good 1/4 mile away. Now if the engineers/conductors are so busy to wave, why arent they soooo busy to flip me off?
