What do you mean by 'crazy'? You have no idea how wonderful the railroads were. Or did you imagine trains served the same function as your personal automobiles?

Man, picking up water from those troughs (I guess that's what it is at the end) must've been a dodgy business. Imagine not getting it back up time and then SMASH into the end of the trough. I hope it was idiot-proofed and broke off or whatever instead of ripping a hole in the footplate.
