The same thing used to happen at the coal mines. The MOP would set in the clear and then come in and get their loads. They even wanted them pulled out on the lead so they didn't have to pull the load yard grade!

As you choked down the dust and acquired a good dose of silicosis you'd notice a RI sw. engine sittin' over on their main, doin' NUTHIN' !!!! Sometime in the afternoon we'd begin ta pull OUR stuff out, leavin' behind a cut bigger than the one we pulled out with. Whaddya think happened to the cars we left behind ???, well - the Rock came over, latched on to 'em and left !!! We did all THEIR work while they sat and watched !!! Never DID figure THAT one out !!!
