Instructions unclear. Boxcar is pregernant

Only way to make new cars after the Budd company went bankrupt. RIP.

That is some really deep train lore that you just shared of the top your head. Much respect.

Dragons humping train carts

Preganté?

I mean ok fine but what is the car actually for and why can't I hump it?

Its the track inspection boxcar its full of cameras.

Apparently humping in train terms refers to the act of using a small hill at the decoupling point to force the cars apart using gravity. Supposedly this is hard on the cars and their contents especially when coming to a stop afterward.

Ah, so if they hump it the stress might break/misalign the cameras and all that tasty equipment?

"Humping" in this context means pushing the trailers onto a small hill and releasing them one by one to send them onto different tracks to make up new trains.

It's efficient but it can damage delicate cars or fragile contents, hence the warning.

nono you are allowed to hump, its okay. you can hump all you want <3

I went to a nature park once. They had signs "Don't Molest the Alligators." as there's a reason for that sign.

No. No humping that car. 😡

well.... at least put a pillow inbetween.

That would destroy the pillow. Knuckle couplers are not gentle.

love the hand drawn angry eyebrows <3

oh... well then... i guess not. no humping near this car.

~but~ ~otherwise~ ~go~ ~ahead~

I have a friend who works on the railroad, I sent him a picture of a train car with that sign on it and said "I don't think I'm mature enough to work in rail" and he replied, "it's okay, neither are we"

Yes, like the way babby is formed.
