Whilst reading of caboose marker light meanings, I recalled this
little
joke I saved a few years ......
Some knob writes to a newsgroup:
Are they the RED, White and Blue-green light at the top of the
engine
faceplate?
If they are, I thought they were there for showing seniority
levels.
Response:
Yes. The engineer with the most seniority gets to show green lights.
The next oldest gets to show white lights.
All others have to keep the lights extinguished except for the
youngest
engineer who must display red lights and take the siding for
everybody
else.

C-P-R "Canadian Pacific Railway"
Bill,
How about the CNR conductor walking down the aisle of a passenger coach
being stopped by a lady passenger.
"Oh Conductor, I was just wondering; what do the stars and bars on the
sleeve of your uniform jacket mean?"
"Well, ma am," answered the conductor, "the stars are the number of
times I've been married, and the bars are the number of children I
have."
"Oh, my." exclaimed the lady.
"Why, what's the matter," asked the conductor.
"Well, I couldn't help noticing that you're brakeman is of very loose
morals."
"What on earth makes you say that," asked the conductor.
"Well', answered the lady, "I see he has three children, and he's never
been married.'
