<p>I never knew waving meant so many different things to different people. The protocol is that the wave is always initiated by the bystander. It is simply a greeting, a celebrative gesture, a sign of respect, and an offering of good luck. The fact that nobody waves at trucks, buses or planes says a lot about railroading.</p><p>Nobody is obligated to return a wave, or even look for wavers. And let's clear this up: A wave does not include somersaults or dances. And a wave is never done with two hands, while springing up and down unless you are under five years old. Personally, I would not return a wave if it came with a somersault. </p>
