new to yards
whats up people, thanks for all the information that everyone put in, its greatly appreciated, well, i have been wanting to paint trains for a long time, but i never had a ride to the yard or ne thing like that, its just way too far from my house, well 2 days ago me and my boy went down to where i knew there was some train action, and a little yard, that they prolly use to switch shit up in, im not sure tho, i dont really know much about yards and stuff, but i wanna learn more, cuz im pretty sure there isnt much security in our yards, but when i get my bike fixed im going to go down there and watch the trains and learn what kind of shit goes on and when they move the cars and all, but i have a few questions, we were chillen and all and there was like this one little section, there were like 3 rows of tracks, and one of the outside rows had like 15 cars on it with no engine attached or anything, were they humping these cars or just storin em there? right kind of parallel to there, there was a track comin off of those that had an engine there just chillen, my boy wanted to get inside it and shit but i was like nah man thats way too risky i dont wanna do all that, now you may call me a pussy and all, but i wasnt gonna step foot on that thing cuz i knew alot less then than i do now that i have read all this, anyways...2 questions, that make me sound really toyish but first what is a number like i read someone say not to go on the numbers or somethin like that, second, a lay-up, i understand that a lay-up is like a platform thingy what do these look like and where are they usually located, if it helps im in louisiana, pm me if you can help me with this or you can post up on here, i would greatly appreciate it thanks a million for all of your input on this subject...peace
