Re: Reporting incidents - stopping trains
Author: Drew Jacksich

I will have to agree that violently waving anything does work to stop a train. If it didn't, November 1st, 1969 may well have been the second date on my tombstone. I was waving a bloodied jacket over my head and (I was pretty bloodied up myself) it brought X9010 East to a stop with the caboose at the signal bridge just West of Floriston. I believe that, at the time, it was MP222.

Again, a post mortem thanks to the late Bob Allison and the rest of the crew.
