Pete,

Hand signals aren't dead in the RR industry, today. My son, a U.P. engineer, and I were discussing the subject a few days ago. He says they still prefer hand signals whenever it is possible while switching because it is easier than keying a mike on the radio with every action. In his opinion, you can concentrate better on what you are doing when you are not also operating the radio.

Ain't we glad we had all that fun back in the day...Comes in handy now and then. 

On a few occasions I would be "helping" my wife to park the car or move it...I would be giving "hand signs"....Llike.."come to me" or "go away from me"....Leo and us other trainmen know what those look like...She never figured it out and it caused me more trouble than it was worth.
