As for the MU Hoses on the Hood end of 159....
Prior to the rehab work on the Bushwick Branch, the plow of 159 was continually hitting a switch guide (written up several times), until one day the plow had been sufficiently damaged and was being limped back to FP (as ordered) when it struck the ground at the first crossing East of Fonda Runaround, completely shearing the bolts which held the plow to the engines, and snapping the MU Pipes, which were never fixed.
In addition she spits more than the working girls on the branch. (...oil that is.) Such that the windshields need to be thoroughly wiped down at the begining of each shift and usually again after hauling the loads from WMX.
Finally and for whatever reason...she is quite particular about being MU'd with the 9373, such that they can only go cab-to-cab. If you hitch the 9373 hood end to the 159 cab, pppftt....the 159 shuts down.
As for being a "mainline Bitch" tushy, she is still Queen of the Bush
