I can't add to much to Ed's answer. <br />There are no carmen in the yard I work in. We service a paper mill and make up north and south bound trains. It's a mix of box cars, chemical cars, lumber, logs, propane etc...etc... In other words EVERY car has to be coupled by the conductor. Now in a 20 to 40 car train this isn't usually to bad but consider what 20 to 30 below temps do to those air hoses. It's just like trying to bend a piece of re-bar!! Different materials are used to make hoses and some are worse then others. I've even had to carry a fussee before to heat up the most stubborn ones to be able to bend them. Sometimes it's like the officials can't figure out why things slow down in the winter around here. Hmmm.....minus 30 degrees and snow to your crotch..... I can't figure it out either. <br />Slofr8.
