Some drunk kid got hit in my yard the other day by a car that had been humped. I think that they hump cars way faster than 5mph..because I can hear the "booms" all day and night...even when on the other side of town.

 

So..yeah...don't drink and play around trains!

I don't really know how to fake being a railfan, because I sort of am one. If you don't feel the freight love in your veins, and you just want an excuse for being seen in the yard, just keep it simple, say you like trains, seeing them roll and shit. Another way to go if you don't know enough to front as a railfan is just to say you don't like people much and you often wander the lonely areas like train tracks and shit.

Don't stick your hands in the couplers, especially if there's some activity in the yard. You never know when they'll decide to start shoving cars together.

Good looking out Cracked, info is always appreciated.

 

Not sure if any of you have these in your local yard, but over here, in the city's biggest yard which is half CN and half CP, the use of remote control engines is in full effect. Essentially, the worker walks along the tracks with a remote control and works the engine from there (you see, trains are BIG toys!!!). Its cool to watch, but is also very dangerous for a couple of reasons. 1) There is no conductor in the engine, so no one to blow the horn to tell you to get the fuck out of the way. 2) With the worker controlling the engine from the ground, you may be paying attention to him and not notice the ghost rider train coming at you from the opposite direction.

Another piece of advice. If you feel the need to close the door on an open boxcar so you can complete that purty end2end you have been planning (which I do not recommend), keep in mind that once you get the momentum built up the door won't stop until it slams shut, with or without your fingers in the way.

Play safe, clean your spots and never accept candy from men in trenchcoats.

ok defy, were all really impressed with your Amtrack ID, now give it a rest.

I got a little spooked today when I was getting flix. I went to a little spur that serves a carboard recylcing plant, 3 boxcars at a loading dock. They used the dock periodically during the day (I've taken flix while a forklift was loading things inside) but as I walked up to it today the whole line starting moving! They must have a way to move it with the forklift or somthing, I couldnt see from where I was. This is a spot where I would have made an exception and gone over the couplers since its a dead end, and the approach is straight and highly visible. Made me rethink my safety a bit.

Ok, lemme get this straight....

You work in a train yard, or for that matter

you even work on trains, and you still

have access to a computer??? I don't think

that you are telling the truth. You are

embarrassing yourself, in fact.

There are plenty of yards in CT. I'm not even

from there and I know where they are.

No one is going to tell you, because they

don't want you there. Suck it up, and

find a nice lay-up in the woods.

Love,

The Devil
