I must admit that I have NEVER seen a Rear Brakeman, nor Conductor hang THAT far out on the caboose steps, simply to "drop off" a message or any other piece of paper information!
Really... That's what I did for 30 years. Sometimes you had to hang out to pick up orders etc on the fly....We still don't know exactly what's going on, Signalling , dropping off something or picking up orders.
One again nice try... You're starting to give me HB.
