Pat, FYI, back in the day on the UP it was mainly the machinists that did the rod doping. All the major crew change terminals had roundhouses with staff.

However, I did some light lube work and re-fueling on the Diseasels as an Engine Wiper and Hostler Attendant on 2nd trick at Albina from time to time many, many years ago! |
