Mook, Hammerheads are a less agressive water dwelling creature when compared to the Great White. HeHeHe. Seriousely the other use for this term is for the W.O.R.S. (workorder reporting system) that we use on locals and roadswitchers on the BNSF. The Hammerhead is a laptop computer sized device that has a touch screen similar to a palm pilot and downloads all of the car #s, spots and pulls for a specific job. You report the work done thru this little dude directly to Ft. Worth's Service Support when you install it back in the cradle at the Depot. It is loaded with track info for all of the tracks that you will be working on a given job and you use this to move the cars into different tracks or into your train to keep our track inventory straight. It is kinda a pain in the *** to use....but, hey that's technology. <br />Ken
