At the train club in town that I used to belong to , there was a member who was captain of one of the car/train ferries that ran from Windsor Ont to Detroit MI. every day back in the 50's - 60's . The ferries were later replaced by barges pushed by a tug boat and the guy , Ted Hanifan , captained the tug until he retired . Ted had a lot of interesting stories ....one of them being the time a box car went overboard after the sudden shift in weight from a string of cars being removed from the ferry . I'm building him ( slowly ) a model of his car ferry using a Voco Marine ( later Bearco Models ) kit .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
