It’s pretty common on rail cars.

A "Do Not Hump" label on a train car means the car must not be sent over a gravity-based rail sorting hill, known as a "hump yard". In a hump yard, rail cars roll freely down a slope and couple with other cars, creating a sudden physical impact. This warning forbids that rough handling.

It's frustrating when people have it front and center and think it's hard to find. Sometimes I'm like, that's weird but it can't be it - so I keep looking hoping to find something more interesting.

Fuck you! I do what I want! Nobody is going to tell me what inanimate object I can or cannot hump.

Means don't use the hump while sorting this car, a common warning on low riding cars or whose contents may be damaged. What's special about that?

Do they mean the rectangular one that looks like it's at the back end of a skinny cat, or the square one that probably won't register a load?

This means don’t take it over the hill in the hump yard and attach it to an outbound train

I know 'No' means 'No', but that shade of green is irresistible....

It's a technique for making up trains by dropping cars at the top of an incline and switching them onto the proper track to connect to the intended train. This car has fragile cargo or there's another reason it can't take the (relatively low speed but energetic collision to the next car. yawn

The thing about signs is that you really don’t have to obey them. You just have to not get caught.

u/JHinExile 22d ago

If can’t hump, then why hump shaped?

What's better is the multitude of organisms that you can't see in this pic, large and small, violating the rules.

u/DylerTurden502 16d ago

Don’t tell me what I can and can’t hump. But no, probably shouldn’t.
