yeah in a way, it basically keeps them from pushing too hard against the cars in fron of them, in particular empty cars that are fairly light, like flats, articulated cars, etc. there are also some pretty strict train make-up rules when you are in the mountains with the grades and particularly the curves. what'll happen is a light car that is getting pushed too hard will just "jump" out of the train to the outside of the curve, sort'of a reverse of stringlining. we get'em through here now and again, i've only had one, and that was on a grain train. other trains you might see one on might be the MKCTU,MHNEP,MEPHN,MWCHN, haven't seen any on stacks. probably have more luck in Salina, cause they run DP's there and we don't. As for the yard here, you can't hardly miss it(small town) just come up US77, take the business 56 exit, where business 56 takes a sharp curve to the right, take a left and follow that road, it runs right into the yard office. they're mostly o.k. you might get a few looks, maybe a question or 2, but i wouldn't think you'd have any problems.
