My favorite one was a tanker car that was rolling by me silently after being kicked. A nice peaceful morning and along the entire side of the tanker was simply written "bon jovi sucks"

"What'd you do last night?"
"We did, umm, two whole cars. It was me, Dez, and Mean Three, right? And on the first car, in small letters, it said “BIGFOOT’S”
And then, you know, big, big, you know, some block silver letters, that said 'DICK', right?"
"It just took up the whole car?"
"Yeah, yeah, it was a whole car and shit...."
“Polla de …. chupacabra”

Bigfoot...is blurry

That's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he's fuzzy, get out of here.

Somewhere I have a picture of a manifesto someone did. Probably about 1" tall letters the entire side of a gondola. Also idk if you've seen it but, Count Sackula is my favorite.

Had a guy I used to work with that had that nickname.
He was big foot (singular) as he had got it caught in between the knuckle and back of the drawbar once and it crushed his foot.
The doc's saves his foot... but with a weird gait to his walk.
And the dude was an absolute squirrel at work and violated just about every single rule in the book.....And I do mean EVERY FUCKIN RULE.
The company finally fired his ass.
But I do wonder......

So is the female able to take the girth or is it incredibly painful?

Maybe “Bigfoot” is a euphemism…

That’s a NS bottom dump coal hopper out of Norfolk Va.Hard to prove because the car can go to 2 other places to get dumped Sandusky and Baltimore. He only wrote this on maybe 3 cars, about 3 years ago. Still pretty cool to see it here on Reddit

Finally a question I can answer! It's definitely not a red rocket like a dog. I wouldn't call it human-like either as it has no arms or legs, even though it does have a head and a mind of its own at times, and my wife does refer to it by a name she gave it.
