humor (allegedly)
If you’re the first to
and
we use it, it’s worth $25!
When my son was 3 or 4 years old, we would rail-fan locally. He
fondly called the grade crossing gates the “ding-ding”. One day
while in the bathroom, he was taking quite a while to finish. I asked
him if everything was OK. He replied “The ding-ding’s on but the
train’s not coming”.

An engineer calls the dispatcher and asks him for the time. The dis-
patcher asks him what road he works for.
The engineer snaps back, “What difference does that make?”
“Well,” the dispatcher responds, “If you work for the BNSF it’s 2 pm;
if you work for the UP it’s 1400; if you work for the NFS the big hand is
on the 12 and the little hand is on the 2; and if you work for Amtrak, it’s
Tuesday!”

Railroad term for the track worker who hits his toe with
the spike hammer instead of hitting the spike.
