	1997	Thurmont, MD	Interesting move took place here. Engine pulled the boxcar SLOWLY forward w/ conductor riding the boxcar. Conductor jumped off after uncoupling the boxcar. Engine pulled forward as conductor quickly walked up to the switch. As the engine cleared the switch, the conductor through it to the siding (lumber yard). The conductor then climbed back onto the slowly rolling boxcar to ride it into the lumber yard working the hand brake to bring it to a stop. One problem, the boxcar stopped before it got to the switch. The conductor got off the boxcar and there was just enough of a grade which allowed him to push the boxcar from a dead stop and get it rolling again. He then hopped back on and rode it down and into the siding. Wish I had a camcorder.
