Some really great postings guys ;.must have been a thrill to ride on a flying switch car... I was told of a story that happeded here in colorado back in the gold mining days... a car full of gold concentrate ore broke loose and was rolling down the hill picking up speed the crew reacted swiftly and chased the car ;one of the crew climbed out on the cow catcher it was in the days of the link and pin cupplers held the link up as the engin cought up with the speeding car then dropped in the pin and the engin stopped the car. everyone got to keep their job that day[:O][:O][:O][bow]>>>glennbob [angel][:)]
