We had several around the Rochester Juntion area on the Lehigh Valley in the 70s. Two of us even got a ride on the caboose of another train back into a fire 3/4 of a mile down the tracks. 2 of us had water tank back packs (Indian tanks ) We handed the tanks up to the crew as they rolled by the crossing at a crawl then jumped on. We were both greatful to the crew for the ride as it saved hiking in with 5 gallons of water and 50 pounds of gear on. We had the fire out before the other FF hiked in. The view was nice from the back step also!!
