dont do it!

dont hump!!!!ok, these signs are on train boxcars sometimes.. let me explain why. when a train enters certain train yards, the one line branchs off into about 20 or 30 other lines in order to sort where the boxcars go.... at the beginning, there is a little small hill that the train rolls up... then they disconnect one boxcar at a time and decide which lane its gonna go into in order to get to its destination.. kinda like sorting mail. well since its a hill, the trains coast down into their lanes and smash into the rest of the boxcars sitting there and jolt around and stuff. certain train cars carrying valuable merchandise cant be going over the hill or "hump" due to possible damage that could occur have these signs on them so they dont get smashed around. i had to steal this one cus it was almost falling off anyways.
