A question on car loading.

[FCIN]

Not to get completely off topic but,I fully believe railroading we knew is fast becoming a relic of the past.
I may do a topic on this.

I'm afraid you're right Larry. "The Times They Are A Changin".

Spending a lot of time at the NS yard in Danville, it's very apparent that will all the new rules and imposed regulations on the railroad industry, that it takes two or three times as long for crews to do their work then it did when I was "switchin' them cars". Noticed recently that crews are now required to wear yellow or pea green safety vests when working.

Might be fun to have a thread that goes into how things "used to be" compared to today. Gee, I even remember a time when the only graffiti you saw on a rail car was done with chalk! Remember Bozo Texino or Herbie, not to mention my favorite - Kilroy.
