[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 148997, member: 10543"] In railroading, a "pusher" isn't someone dealing in illegal narcotics, but is instead a locomotive or locomotives at the rear of a train helping to push it up a grade with assistance from more locomotives on the front and/or midtrain. This is a gritty scene taken in 1981 at Sand Patch, PA on the former B&O mainline. The pushers have just "cut off" (uncoupled) from this eastbound "on the fly" (without stopping). The summit is perhaps 200' behind me. Next stop, Cumberland, MD. My wife and I want to purchase that house! ;) Nikon EL-2, 50mm Lens, Kodachrome 64. [ATTACH=CONFIG]36684._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
