Bring sunscreen ... pity the old arnine trick of setting the reverser in neutral, and walking out of the cab while barreling down the right of way no longer works ... then you could step out, tap the keg, pour a cold one and sit back down when you've got yours. Heh.Had some friends show up and board my train once when I grabbed a Saturday pickup job for a day. Got onto CPW with an A behind me when I came up the ramp, so I knew there was nothing ahead of me and the bulbs were green as far as the eye could see. So I centered up, stepped out of the cab, closed the door and sat down on the opposite side. Buddy asked all panicky and so, "who's driving the train?" NOBODY! :) Ah the stuff you USED to be able to do. Train Dude got a dose of the "center up" trick once on an arnine in work service. You could have fun with that, step out of the cab, take off and put on your coat at full speed ahead in coast. For me, centering up was useful for eating my veal parm northbound and unwrapping that sucker after toasting it back to warmth on the floor heater. Did I tell you I *loved* working arnines? (grin) |
