Sir, not to change the subject but I have a humeruos story about torpedoes. Near were I grow up there is a cement plant that used to be swiched by the I.C.G. The switch for getting into the plant was located in a stand of timber near some corn fields. Deer were plentiful at this location and so were poachers. The train crews switching there would set out torpedoes for protection and also to inform them when the train had traveled enough to clear the switch. Well one night a crew was working and the train set off one of those torpedoes. Out of the timber comes a game warden gun drawn. He orders everyone off the train and hand-cuff's them. He then starts to search the train saying "I know there's a gun and dead deer on this train some where for I heard the shot." It took them over an hour to explain the torpedoe and how it is used. The railroad was informed of this matter, a big fuss was raised and this game warden was transfered to parts unknown. <br /> TIM ARGUBRIGHT <br />
