You can hump me cuties
The hump yard is a little old place
Where we can link together
Hump yard, baby
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”
love the hand drawn angry eyebrows <3
I went to a nature park once. They had signs “Don’t Molest the Alligators.” as there’s a reason for that sign.
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.

Preganté?
Yes, like the way babby is formed.

No. No humping that car. 😡
well… at least put a pillow inbetween.
That would destroy the pillow. Knuckle couplers are not gentle.
oh… well then… i guess not. no humping near this car.
but otherwise go ahead
I mean ok fine but what is the car actually for and why can’t I hump it?
“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.
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.
Its the track inspection boxcar its full of cameras.
Ah, so if they hump it the stress might break/misalign the cameras and all that tasty equipment?
