(I'm sure the train crew was getting a bit worried! LOL) These things used to run with an old caboose trailing loaded with MP's and other officials. The reasoning behind putting it on the rear of the train was supposedly to minimize any effects a head-on collision or other head-of-train derailment might have....don't guess they're smart enough to figure on a rear-end collision! <br /> <br />anb740 <br />PS-no one was watching........what's that...........oh, here comes the FBI knocking on the door! [:D] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Maybe it was empty and just heading home.
