Well maybe I'll just throw one out there now and again...An old engineer (who taught me most of what I know about running) was taking a single Budd car down to Washington. With a single car, no fireman was required. He comes up on a road crossing, and lo and behold, a truck pulls past the flashing lights onto the track. If you hit a car with a Budd, it will roll up under the pilot. Any thing larger might come into the cab. A Budd's cab is not the place to be at that time, so the engineer dumps the air in emergency and steps through the cab door, sitting in the first seat to brace for the impact. Some how the truck was missed and the Budd came to a stop. About then, the engineer looked at the passenger next to whom he sat. The passenger briefly put his newspaper down and said, "You're a [heck] of a captain!"
