As an experienced railroader, I’m disappointed to see this guy riding the car like this, facing forward with feet partly over edge of crossover walkway.
One bit of slack and off he goes. Riding tank cars should b done facing inward to properly brace against slack.It also easier to ‘bale’ if a collision is likely with a vehicle.
