"At Thendara it was known affectionately as "the torpedo." I don't recall why."


Indeed the yellow torpedo. It got loose one afternoon during a switching move and rammed the unoccupied wooden camp cars. We had to get at it from the non-coupler end and lets just say a whole lot of things went wrong, of which were expected they might and no one was hurt due to certain cautions and job briefs. A day that anyone that was there does not care to repeat. (early summer 1993).
