@steamtrainfan1992 Same thing is taught to us in Canada. It's common sence really.

[SteamtrainFan1992]

@6199jackman I understand completely ,but I work for a short line railroad in California , and i was told you should never step on a rail. Not to piss you off but i was just telling what rule i was taught. Again I am not trying to makeyou mad

[SierraMike100]

@6199jackman I guess the rules a slightly different here in Canada. AT CN Rail were I work if your crossing between 2 freight cars or locos they must be 25 feet apart. If there not you must use the cross over or brake platform. If you get caught stepping on the operating lever or couplers (especially between the horn and striker) Its a failed PMRC if your a repeat offender 60 points and have a nice life your outta here.

@SierraMike100 It's a natural instinct for the man to go over the couplers.

[6199jackman]

@SteamtrainFan1992 It is not a fail, you should know that you have no right whatsoever to explain the rules when you do not know the official rules/guidelines. Or are you? The wheel would not crush his foot because of carriage clearance.

@SierraMike100 didn't need to

[6199jackman]

@freeciv1 you

[6199jackman]

@9035 so who cares you don't know the rules he must have to

I thought those transition couplers were for emergency or transfer duty only
