Moving Between Loco's On The Move

Just had to do this last night on a loaded coal train, but we were only travelling 10mph. Generally not too big a deal at low speed, but most low speed main track is poorly maintained and you never know when there is going to be an unexpected bump, dip, or soft spot. Walking is less of a problem because there are handrails, but if you are resetting governor buttons or restarting a dead unit the handholds aren't in the most convenient locations. It is something that I keep in mind every time I have to step outside the cab. A fall at low speed can still be extremely dangerous. <br /> <br />As for rules about doing this: there aren't until you get hurt-then there are many rules that may have been broken, ie failure to maintain proper handholds, etc. so it is something to keep in mind.
