Brake stick holder

[NW Mailing List]

The brake stick belongs to (or at least is assigned to) the conductor, 
not the engine.  Although, now that I think about it, I would not think 
I'd like to have a brake stick carried there - it would get rather nasty 
with sand, dirt, dust, rain, grease, etc.  It's one thing to carry it 
there switching in the yard (although nobody does, as far as I have 
seen), but it's quite another to hang it there for 200 miles.
