One incident does stay with me. Some years ago, I was working the yard. At one point, I was pulling a cut of cars through the yard as another engine was pushing a cut in the same direction from the other end on the next track. I had a SD-9, he had a GP-30. I pulled along side and looked in the cab. The brakie was running the motor and the hogger was playing fireboy! He was sitting in the left hand seat facing the brakie and didn't notice me. The tracks are quite close together there, so I reached across the gap and clamped my paw on his left shoulder! He stiffened up, not knowing WHAT had him. This was in the middle of a freight yard at 8 mph! I said, "Hello, Clyde!" The brakeman started roaring with laughter. I apologizes to Clyde later, because although he was young, if he had a ticker problem, we might have lost him. But it was FREAKIN' FUNNY!
