Jim i like your Questions, and if you go to page 3 or 4 or 5 on the main forum page maybe 6, 7 or 8.. you'll find an entire topic dedicated to torpedoes.. [/quote] Hi Kevin, I kinda thought it might be that is why I said I'll take the bait. Thanks for your comment on the question. I actually had a torpedo in my hand when I was about 15. KIDS What can I say. Just a quick story. One night when I was literally running the tracks, I came upon a possume (That's hillbilly for opossum). Usually a possume will "play dead" when scared. This one however decided not to play dead. And if that wasn't bad enough he wouldn't let me get by. He was centered between the two rails. Every time I tried to go around him he would sneer at me. Then he starts charging me. It is midnight, I can't see anything, and you know how the tracks are most always higher than the ground around them I couldn't sneak by him. So there I was (high drama here) dueling with a possume with an attitude. I couldn't help but think "rabbies". He charged me about 5 times. All I could do was "give em the boot" and every time I kicked him he came back for more. You talk about the proverbial Mexican Standoff, this was it. Neither one of us was about to give in, tuck tail or run. Finally after about (what seemed like hours) a few minutes he ran off the track and down into the ditch never to be seen again. What a relief. The battle was over and the good guys (guy) won. And yes this is a TRUE story. I bet some of our railroad buddies have a story something like this they too can share.
