Has anybody seen Fred lately? The last I heard he had fallen down on the job. [;)]
See? I told you this would happen when they took off the cabooses.
I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!! [swg]
Maybe they’ll pick it up at the next dragging equipment detector.
Doh! There goes about 5,000 bucks. It looked like one of the new air powered ones too. Too bad so sad. I bet that conductor or carman will be briefed about how to put on an EOT and make sure it’s on. I used to give them a good shake once I had it on there to make sure it wasn’t going anwhere, but you never know; it could have been a failure of the clasp too.
Actually it had already gone through 2 dragging equipment detectors and they both missed it. It was an engineer on a parked train that caught it and radioed ahead.
I think they told FRED to take 2 Advil and call them in the morning. [:D] [:D]
They must be built pretty tough to take a dragging like that? Suprised it didn’t catch on something and get ripped free.
Oh, that’s gonna leave a mark!
FRED is going to be OK after a little time off.
LOL!..Now that’s got to leave it’s mark.
Allan.
This is just a plot started by the conductor to get a caboose on his train.
We cabooses will kill all the freds to get back on track!!![:D][:D]
I guess that brings new meaning to the saying “You look like you’ve been dragged over 40 miles of bad railroad”
I think somewhere someone is saying a few words…
one word
WHOOPS!
Anotherone Bites The Dust!
So that’s why every one of them I see are all scratched and knicked up…
Looks like it’s about to break in half!
Get well soon…

Actually, it’s something new they’re trying . . .
FRED now stands for “Friction Rub’s Extremely Durable”.
LOL if you must.[;)]

I’m sure the manufacturer would love to hear tough that bad boy was!
You would think there would be built-in features in the technology for situations just like this. " FRED to head end: oooh…ouh…oooh…ouh…ooh…ouh…"
It usually plugs th’ train. Alot of the time the battery will fall out, or it’ll be loose,or something.
