>>1261852>>1261854Could just be a pride of heritage type deal. Ironically, human Americans like to make a big deal about their heritage in this same way, "I'm part cherokee/half Irish/quarter german so blah blah blah". If the locos at Baldwin had this attitude he could have learned it from them. If they boasted about how the states don't care too much about railway accidents he'd have had no way of knowing how full of shit they were, having never worked there in his life.

Even as a kid I thought it looked painful. It's the equivalent of breaking your leg whilst running and having the shin bone flip up and stab you in the stomach.
