Working in a distribution center we received most of our stock via rail car. We had several doors that Con Rail would spot cars at. Most of the time they were spotted after we had gone home for the day. The local kids would get bored and being looking for some entertaimant and come over and release the air brakes, and the hand brake.Our siding had a slight grade and the cars would roll towards the bumper at the end of the siding. The next morning all 5 of us would be outside with the pinch bars and 1 guy on the ladder by the hand brake as we respotted the cars at the doors of the warehouse. This happened in the 1970's and early 1980's.
