I do recall a back-up move from the coach yard to CUS about 1970 with Chicago 
Division engineer "Rags" and tail-gunner "Boots" where we departed the yard 
with a one-piece tail hose and arrived CUS with a two-piece device.  "Boots" 
asked "Rags" if he could place the "evidence" in the engine room.  I asked 
"Rags" why he shoved so hard and his response was, "It's HIS responsibility to 
control the back-up move.".  Sure seemed assinine to me back then.  No "cigar" 
from the Station Master, either!
