Yea I laughed too....that was pretty funny stuff.....when he got on the back of that boxcar for the ride out to whitside I gave him a thumbs up for good jointing....he didnt give one back which meant that he thought it sucked...but he is a good switchman

Around 1930, my maternal grandfather, Edmund "PegP McClintic was killed riding the side of a car like that in Jonesville, Michigan. A car on a siding was not pulled in quite far enough, crushing him. It is a dangerious line of work, but a necessary one.

I saw an unpatched Cotton Belt GP60 about a month ago on a UP frieght that came through my back yard.

@helloween1987 You only raise the cut lever when making a cut, not while coupling. One open knuckle is all you need to make a joint.

[helloween1987]

that happens because the switchman is supposed to be raising the coupler lever, no wonder why it didnt attach itself...

Haven't seen a "Cotton Belt" Logo in a while.

Those long draw bars on those cushioned underframed boxcars can fucker you up especially trying to couple at industry tracks. They almost always place them in a curve and then you mismatch and have to do all kinds of "guage invader" shit to get things coupled.....I do this daily and would never consider an office job...I love railroading!
