[8D]In 1995 I was mistaken for a MP military cop & told to get on the rear loco of a consist of 2 UP SD40-2's # 3300 & 3301 pullin 20 ft containers with explosive placard O.D. green containers by UP's RR police so I played along when i asked him for directions to the nearest store he told me to wait in the loco It was his treat he bought me a plate lunch pack of smokes & a 6 pack of coors I thought for sure I was In deep [censored] even though I was wearing camoflauge my hair was well below my shoulders as the train pulled away from the yard lots of railfans were watching so I waved the RR cop told the engineer over the radio and I quote (be careful one of our boy's is guarding this train so give him a smooth ride and tell the next crew the same) I was in shock I thought for sure some one would say his hairs to long to be a soldier but no one noticed i guess when we stopped in wills point the train crew invited me to eat with them at dairy queen they offered to buy but i refused i told them my moneys just as good as the next workin mans they said your still welcome to join us so i did It was A hell of a ride till St Louis when the yard master told the engineer there was someone on the rear loco he confirmed by telling the yd master i was an MP then the yd master said theirs not supposed to be a guard that UP has carried tanks & stuff before & never had a guard and when he called the ARMY they didnt have anyone doing guard duty on any trains in the U.S. I knew I had just one option RUN LIKE HELL but to make a long story short UP never caught me but that was a beautiful locomotive and a very fun ride to bad that St Louis yd master wasn't blind like every body else it was fun while it lasted
