Wave At Train, Go To Jail

I can understand railroads keeping an eye on their right of way. A few months ago we had some #$%^$&%# people steal about 20+ ties from our right of way. Those big chunks of wood aint cheap. Our super visor and some track workers followed tire tracks to a near by storage building and found the ties. Of cource they got away with it because the cops said we couldn't they stole them from us, so they got abunch of ties , and costed the company some dough. I block a major 4 lane highway and get my share of looks and horn blowing, but I return the ol have a peace sign when I receive it. <br />I got the last laugh this one hot dry summer day. We shove up 9 cars across the highway to the CSX interchange, tied some hand brakes, and proceeded down to the highway to make the cut. By then everyone is pissed and blowing their horn. We make the cut, I get up , ride to the edge of the road and stop. My engineer always gets down and turns the air to save me a walk . So once he told me to bust it, I grabbed the air hose and pointed it at the ground and blew dirt, rocks, and other debis all over this <br />@$#%^!'s car who just couldn't stop blowing his horn. Or you can always kill em with kindness. Smiling and waving at someone who is pissed at you just pisses em off even more.
