| Title: |
ONE CAR |
| Description: |
Time honored switch move, as the conductor brings #9 back to couple. Your choice of the distance to call 'one car' and also 'that'll do' (don't say stop unless it is an emergency, you'll never hear the end of it) depends on the skills of your engineer. On the C&NW, we had some that were so bad on the brakes that they would roll another 30 feet after that'll do, so after a while you learned to "lead 'em". Conversely, we also had the 30+ year guys who could stop 2 Geeps and a string of cars with their brake hoses disconnected within a few feet of your stop signal. It was pretty embarrasing to switch from one of the Crap-tastic engineers to one of the old heads, lead him by 20 feet, and have him stop with 15 feet to spare....You didn't hear the end of that one, either. |
