Do not hump!

I remember an incident involving a flatcar with two 20' containers that was marked DO NOT HUMP when I was working at the nuclear waste processing site. The car was humped and hit hard enough to shift the load in one of the containers enough to break open the doors. I can just imagine the yard crews faces finding a container marked radioactive with the doors broke open. <br /> Fortunately it was a low level shipment and only required a light decon of the flatcar. <br /> Never the less it was an ugly scene with the hazmat crew and the NRC involved. Lots of paperwork.
