Railroaders' Nostalgia > Railroad Quiz!Date: 05/28/23 20:43 Railroad Quiz! Author: ApproachCircuit At a certain location where there was Hump Activity, The Hump YM would call the crew and tell them to proceed to the Hump.
The term used was "On the Yellow" Small Hint: SD-7's were used and the throttle setting could be adjusted by a Rheostat for precise movement. Date: 05/28/23 22:20 Re: Railroad Quiz! Author: Railbaron That sounds like Roseville.
