As a thread regular it took me a while to process this as anything other than an incomprehensible but probably accurate burn.

That being said, if someone thought up keychains or something that looked like an actual source at the same scale as the real thing would be more of a "nobody should make this no matter how high they are" situation in my mind.

There was a guy in the metalworking thread who was starting to cast little pewter copies of those source cylinders with an eye to maybe selling them on Etsy etc, until people pointed out that if he left one lying around by accident, they'd send out a no-poo poo NEST team to pick it up and he would likely be charged with nuclear terrorism.

Knuckle couplers have been a thing since like the 1880s but apparently Western Europe is too good for them and still use hooks and chains and a dude going between the wagons to link them all up

But the dude has high-vis now so that's progress!

I figure if he's in the middle he probably won't get squished at least, since the rails will line it up.

He might still get pulled under though.

Huh. I was driving towards the left side of an interstate once, and a car suddenly shot sideways all the way across from right to left just in front of me. I never saw what caused it, maybe they got clipped just right like that.

There is enough space between the coupler and the bumpers for a person to stand. But you'd better take those steps at the right time and speed to keep up with the train and not trip over a tie or anything

It's the kind of thing that works perfectly right up until you have a bad day or are distracted and ooops, that's why railroaders in the old days often retired with missing fingers. Or limbs. If they made it to retirement.
