#38: "That and not everyone is cut out to be a diesel mechanic"

True enough. The fuel pressure in the injector lines is high enough to slice your finger off just as clean as a laser beam. And the electric generators on the locamotives could clean out all the death rows in all the states in a few seconds.

This is not a job for someone prone to hangovers or drug abuse. One slip and you or someone else is dead: crushed, sliced, or fried.
