Lookin' through my 1967 copy of the "Consolidated Code..." ta find out what the hell three short blasts mean.

Yeah, yeah I know the rules have been updated since then...like 30 years ago. But most signals are well established, and operations in yards have remained virtually unchanged since.

So three shorts? Please, no smart assed answers... I'm serious! Uke thanks everyone in advance!

Flagman return from the rear of train position. Three long back up. Now who here knows how to call signals using hand signals?

Thanks Cal... I think that's gotta be it, 'cause that crew was shovin' on the hump lead. I can watch/hear 'em every mornin' when they start. It's a remote SD-9, unless that one is shopped...

Otherwise it's a couple Geeps, or an old 40-2, MUd ta one Geep runnin' conventional-like.

They sure do honk a bunck out there!
