Icing the Sunshine Special, San Antonio, the Pullman-Standard diner that was part of the M-K-T's 1948 order for the new "Texas Special" streamliner service.
yup, I'll believe that! When we did stores load on the subs I was crew on, 1991-99, we did hand to hand daisy chain for cans, boxes, and small bags... and sometimes would stretch the line, and then carefully toss the items. One miss, and that thing that was tossed, is in the water... subs have round tops, and nothing stays on top for long, it all slides into the bay. When we loaded TDU weights, in 75 pound boxes, that just plain wore us the hell out. You don't stretch far when getting handed, and handing off, 75 pounds of iron
I used to sell snow cones, and bought ice like that. Those blocks are probably 300 pounds each. What the guy is pitching, are probably 8 pound chunks.
