I think that's partly why most drivers didn't try to back a set into a door. It sometimes took more time and other drivers were waiting to get by and getting paid by the hour the bosses didn't like us spending any more time than needed. I worked nights mostly so I didn't have an audience and I learned the process back in the 70's when wages weren't a factor and the yard I was using was to rough to move the convertor gear by hand. Now days before I retired it was easier on my old body to leave them hooked up when I could especially in the snow. Thanks for the comment. I worked with a few drivers in the system that could back 2 almost easier than most can back 1. A friend of mine in Utah backs doubles and a second dolly up to build a set of triples quite regularly and makes it look easy. Not me. Anyway not to take away from the subject at hand that was an impressive backing job especially at night .
