Brake sticks

[NW Mailing List]

    I used a brake stick one time when I was cut back to conductor. It was in the middle of a big snow storm. Needless to say, all of that aluminum gets cold real quick and it'll freeze your hands of even through gloves.
    One bad thing about them is that the RR won't let you use them to operate the quick release feature on the handbrake. I would much rather not use one being as it is faster to climb a car and use a quick release. Plus, with having to carry a radio and lantern at night, it was one less thing to have to tote around.


Ken,
    Jeremy is doing fine. Working in the yard at Montview. Thanks for asking.

Jimmy
