TWO QUESTIONS!!! TWO!! You are clearly over your bag limit. See the court clerk in room 321 about your fine young lady... <br /> <br />1) You put the marker (FRED or EOTD) on when the train has been doubled together and you are ready to perform the Initial Terminal Air Brake Test. <br /> <br />2) Could be either way. At larger yards it is probably put on by a carman/car inspector (on one of those cushmans) operating under blue flag protection. In smaller yards the conductor will inspect his train and hang the marker after putting in new batteries. IN either case, whomever hangs the marker usually helps the engineer set the marker for the lead locomotive's HOTD. <br /> <br />LC <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Mookie</i> <br /><br />I only saw one train and have two questions. We are a hump yard. <br />If you have your train all made up - when do they put the Fred on? Does someone drive clear to the end of a say a really long grain train in one of those little cushmans we see all the time and stick it on, or do they stop the train while the tail is still in the yard and then stick it on? <br /> <br />Mookie should have one of those for MIllie! And flashing ditch lights and a whistle and......a bigger mirror. Eh? <br />[/quote]
