Yeah, working on the railroad, especially during the steam era, was a dangerous job. Most workplace amputees, if they were lucky, got jobs as watchmen or as guards at level crossings. On my road, short legs or no legs rate a seat in the cab, and it's not a problem even if you're on the large side for HO, as we can cut you down to size....
....and what's left is the start of a gondola load for the rendering plant:
Even the bus company in Dunnville employs the disabled as drivers, and apparently most stores are handicap accessible:
I suppose, too, that the local shoe stores aren't doing too well, and it's difficult to know how well this lobotomised driver knows the rules of the road...
...but one thing for sure, with no foot on the gas, he - can't - drive - 55!
