minus-squarewifemademesignup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·26 days agoNerd time. Hump yards or hump shunting is when they push a rail wagon down a hill and use gravity to push it. Then there are a bunch of switches to go through to make it go into a particular road. It then runs into whatever wagon was already there (and automatically couples together). This impact is very bad for wagon mounted equipment and sensitive cargo. I hate hump shunting. So I agree with this post. DO NOT HUMP.
minus-squareFilthyShrooms@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·26 days agoSo im fine doing the other type of humping?
minus-squarewifemademesignup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·25 days agoYes. But remember if you hump your wagon in to a road, it will likely get humped from behind by the next wagon when you least expect it. Be careful humping.
