Yupper, Bill.......

They don't mess with me anymore :>)  It sure makes a new conductor nervious 
when you aren't stopping for the switch at West Caballo or the East end of the 
Buckskin Siding though :>)

The guy I knew who got hit by the spring switch handle was Roy Reitenbaugh's 
rear brakeman, Bud Jefferies.  He's the only reason Roy survived in a waycar, 
account nobody wanted to hurt Bud :>)

When the "helper links" were new, BoBo was shoving me up Whitetail, and they've 
got a notice out that you aren't supposed to exceed 20MPH when cutting off.  
Well, I figured that BoBo would be a stickler for the 20, so I want him to cut 
off right at the top of the hill, so I won't have to hold it at 20 going down 
through Whitetail.  So, I called the Belle Ayr Helpers, go no answer, then 
BoBo, and still got no answer.  OK, BoBo, we're goin' for a ride.  I think the 
slack running in when he topped 8.2 woke him up, and I hear "beep, beep, beep, 
beep", the radio code to pull the pin, and then the code again, when the helper 
link finally got the pin.  So, I can guarantee that the helper link works at 
35MPH LOL  Never heard a word out of BoBo, Roianne told me later that he had to 
get talked back by 8.2, claimin' a failure on the helper link...she figured he 
just went to sleep :>)
