When I was still doing my student trips for the UP out of Denver in June 1970, 
I got on the front end of caboose on a local turn as we departed for Denver.  
The conductor made certain I never even considered such a move again, 
regardless of train speed. He pointed out the reason caboose grab irons  were 
shaped as they are and that I was expected to use them as they were intended.  
He said I could be pardoned for all sorts of mistakes, but getting run over by 
my own train was not one of them!
