Leo,

Speaking of Old #1, maybe you can clear something up. He did something I've 
never seen anyone do. We were backing a long cut somewhere at night (long time 
ago, can't remember details) and he's leaning out the window with a lit fusee.

I have no idea why he'd do that. I mean, it was never hard to figure out where 
the engine was at night. And it seems to me a fusee would mess up his night 
vision.

He was often doing things differently, no? But this one always puzzled me. Any 
idea?

The day I saw Jeeper do his time card holder toss we were going by the 
Eastbound C&I way frt as it was heading into the passing track at Rochelle at 
the pocket switch. Jeep must have laid out some move involving cutting 
something off on the main,leaving something in the pocket and coming back thru 
the high switch at the other end of the pocket..... Because the Waycar was 
heading into the pocket,he was on the back step hanging onto the grab iron 
trying to get the attention of the 2 extra brkmn., who seemed lost,confused and 
dazed. Finally Jeep just took the time card holder he had been flagging down 
with and just tossed it in their direction.

I'm sure old #1 up in the cab was happy as could be as 12 hours were pretty 
much guaranteed.
