Recognize Stainless Steel Pail ?

[NW Mailing List]

Harry - very similar!

I remember working on Shaffer's Crossing Shop Track and one July day a boxcar load of hides came in with a broken side sill.  The section crew was given the task of transferring the hides into another car.  The work was going well, and when the noon whistle blew the gang got up in the car of hides, broke open their lunch buckets, and ate.

Ruined everybody else's appetite, though . . .

  EdK:
  Is a honey bucket similar to a honey wagon ?  A
  railroader once told  a tale of honey wagons
  staffed with city employees  plying the alleys
  of South Norfolk.  They'd service and lime the
  outdoor toilettes.  He also noted that at 12 Noon,
  they'd sit on the back of the honey wagon, 
  and consume lunch . . . . . .without ever washing
  their hands.
