Zardoz's above post is right on the mark. <br />I've operated cab cars on the CNW, and on the South Shore when we had them years ago. The pilots are minimal at best. <br />The MU cars on the South Shore Line are prety well designed, as they are huge flat sheets of steel, well braced. The last time I hit a car, broadside, the pilot was able to shove the car aside and spin it real good. Sometimes it would cause the auto to spin into the brake pipe under the steps of the lead car, but would not derail it. When we got stopped the flagman went back, looked at the dazed driver, and noticed a large spot in the middle of the driver's pants in the shape of the state of Wisconsin. She said to the driver,"Bet ya wet your pants didn't cha." <br /> <br />Mitch
