Ed a question that is right up your alley. [:)] <br /> <br />Poling--a lost art--quick but dangerous. First, you might explain it for those who have not heard of it. Second, was it outlawed or just discouraged? Third, locos today come without "pole pockets"--correct? Have you or any other switchmen poled in the last 10 years or so? (You might need to take the 5th on the last question, if so I understand.) The switch engines used today are many years old (how old and which do you use) did they come with pole pockets? Is there a modern day alternative that takes the place of poling? In the steam days were pole pockets "standard" or an option? What was the last loco to come with pole pockets. Did just switch engines have poll pockets or mainline locos also? (I can't count past three so I stopped numbering.) Ok , well this should keep you busy for a while and create some interesting reading. <br />This is not a test, just a chance to educate myself and others. [:)]
