On an earlier posting on this trace, someone mentioned walking the tops of the boxcars. Way back when (late 40's) my dad was a brakeman on the WCF&N in Iowa. This was an electric railroad. He said the worst part of the job was walking the cars. In the summer the wire hung down dangerously low and in the winter the tops wer icey. <br /> <br />I used to walk along a Illinois Central siding and let the air out of all the cars 40 or 50 at times. It took them forever to pump them up
