Re: [CBQ] Hand Sign clinic 12/16

["Winton" <runextra@gmail.com>]

Old head CB&Q switch conductor to switch engineer after the engineer
forgot to move the reverser 3 times in a short period of time,
knocking  the pulled pin down each time.
1. He points to his eye, meaning "I'm"
2. He makes a big kick with his leg, meaning "gonna kick"
3. He points to the engineer, meaning "your"
4. He pats his own behind, meaning "ass".

Don't ask how I know this. I'll deny it.

One of the things that were odd to me when I came from the Penn
Central to the former CB&Q was the the Q mens use of the daytime
direction "Come towards me" and the "Go away from me" hand signals. On
the PC we used the same signals day and night. Lantern or hand up &
down for ahead and lantern or hand in a circle for back up.
