I was on the other side in that little blue thing. It's a dead car on a shove move by Lehigh 126. It has no motive power with a bell and whistle thats connected to the brake line. You can shoot the train into emergency if you pull the whistle too much. The Lehigh is set to run 85 pounds and our cars are set to run 100. I would blow the whistle and watch the brake line just go down!

That is incredibly funny and incredibly interesting all at the same time. Were you the one advising the engineer of the crossings and grades?
