[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by trainspotters Sometimes things just happen to seem unusual, and this is one: coming home this afternoon, my wife who has become an excellent trainspotter asked why the classification yards have wind socks. We checked three, and found them on the top of light towers. I do not suppose it is because wind affects locomotives that much, but does anyone have a reasonable explanation? [/quote] Although there has been some serious attempts to explain wind sox in rail yards, so far the truth hasn't been told. As with any larger corpration, the railroads no different, polictcal winds need to be tracked. Wind soxs in rail yards have been placed by the owners to track just that, the polictical WINDS. Jim
