[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by wabash1 Your feelings are wrong. I like conductors I was one once then got enough brains to become a engineer. The thing is that you do things out on the job to make the time go faster. the things we do to each other are just for fun. Ask Ed he and his engineer probley will do things that would look mean to a outsider but in reality its just kidding around. When i have a conductor walk a little further he might come back with extra stops when yarding a train. if i let the slack hit me to jar the conductor its just in fun. None of this is life threatning or in anyway dangerous. But as you have seen on the post several other railroaders spoke on what they would do but in reality just blowing off at the situation. and then would end up thinking of something they would do to the engineer. one thing a conductor did to me was after walking up from lining a switch ( a older conductor) he sneaked up on the rear unit and closed the control stand switches so the engines would remain running then got off and disconected the jumper on the engines so they would do nothing but idle. when i took off i had 2 engines that ran but when i hit the hill they just layed down. to make a long story short i had to get my hands dirty and since it was snowing it was cold had to get off the warm engine and mu my engines again. i made sure he stayed on the engine ( lead unit only ) for the rest of the trip. see nothing bad just a little payback. all in fun. [/quote] Yeah, I kind of figured it was a prankster type of thing, giving and taking. It happens in just about every line of work. I program computers, and we programmers are playing tricks on each other all the time, too. My original question was all toungue-in-cheek anyway, but I liked reading about the tricks you guys pull. Got any other ones you could share? Admiral
