Hey All,
Speaking of stopping a train...this forum takes me back to one stupid youngster, who was riding rear loco's on trains between crew change points as a hobby in the 70's. He thought, instead of going all the way to the yard, all I have to do is drop a lit flare on this curve..... and when the train stopped, jump on.(Breaking federal law dummy)...but he never got caught ......Whew!!!!!!!!

On the advice of legal ...[8D]
No, the need for the trip was eliminated, thank God!
But it still is a tempting thought!
Then again, maybe a waste of good torpedoes.
Stay Frosty,
Ed[:D]
