Not unless you have some chips and a gallon of water. At least from what I learned on the internet.

Here's a wave for you:
Hi all! Long time reader and thought I would finally post something.
To me, it all breaks down into the wavers and the wave-nots. The type of wave one may receive from an engineer can be the casual lift of the arm off the sill up towards the head indicating a casual acknowledgement of your existence. Then there is the out-the-window-wave that says 'hey- how ya' doin', nice to see you admiring what I do. There's the 'look straight ahead but toot the horn deal. There's sometimes the two fingers symbolyzing peace. One time I got the middle finger wave- I guess he was having a bad day. There's the half-wave curving upward kinda like the Queen of England does. The salute-wave, always cool. The one-finger-lift-up wave which I guess means either the engineer is really cool or really tired. And the one where both the engineer and conductor are waving both arms and hands in a crazy-kinda way which probably means 'get off the track!'.
Whatever the wave, I don't expect it or feel entitled to it- but it is nice to get.
The smoke is moving back over the engine and the engineer is looking toward the front, but the WHEELS ARE SPINNING THE WRONG WAY! Some artists just don't pay attention!

Pkgs.
Hmmm. Lookey what I found...

LMAO!
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any

I just got doing a little experiment. I can put this whole thing to an end. VERY high tech and a huge thanks to the Democratic government of Wisconsin for giving me the $46,500.
For the last 2 hours since my last post, i went out and caught 3 trains (2 mainline, 1 local), 4 Buses on thier regular route so actually 4 buses, two different drivers, 1 taxi cab, 1 local truck driver, 1 over-the-road (OTR) driver, 2 hot babes in a car, and a John Q. Public driving a car.
My experiment was to see who would wave, and yes it was a just a regular wave by simply raising the hand and extending the index and middle finger, no higher than the shoulder. What did I come up with? Here are the results:
2 mainline freights-----one wave (with a short blast of the horn) and a wierd look
1 local freight---------a real friendly wave
4 buses (2 drivers)----both waved
1 Taxi----------------a glare
1 Local truck driver---wave
1 OTR----------------wave
2 hot babes in a car---both waved
1 John Q. Public---no wave, but I think he called the cops on me
My conclusion?
Here it is: I need a life and so do some others.
ps (again) I will be submitting another bill to the state of wisconsin for another $110,000 for expenses occured during my excursion. 2 hot babes aint cheap
What happened the the lost art of knowing when to stop reading
I think this thread needs less arguing and more...

At one point I saw a photo of a Conrail engine with sillouettes of cars, trucks and stick people painted on it like a fighter plane, representing collisions...
HEY! I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
