There have been several times I have had something on the ground near a
switch. And twice I have gotten lucky. Just pulling easy from the
diverging end towards the point end. Those guard rails and frogs will
pop a car back up really easy if you're living right. If you miss, you
have a real mess.

Just a generic quiz. Your working a w/f,yard job,road switcher or even a
mainline semi hot shot and in the midst of doing your "station work" a
car
decides to go on the "ground", nothing too serious,you've got a pair of
wheels off the track but everything is upright and still coupled
together. It's
the late 50's or after so there's no "frogs" on the engine or w/c.
How do you get the car back on the rails w/o calling the TM or agent ?
Let's just say you don't want an official inquiry.
There really are several tools at hand. No prize offered other than old
"stories" handed down.
Did you ever wonder why so many ties are scored around switches ?
