A railway inspector in Arkansas in the United States was making the rounds of a railway station and yard in a small town.

He located Hank, a man who had worked in the rail yard for almost forty years. He questioned Hank about various safety considerations and seemed to be satisfied that Hank was genuinely knowledgeable about railway safety.

As a last question, he asked Hank what he would do if he saw two trains approaching each other, on the same track, travelling at speeds of 60 miles per hour (96.8 Kph).

Hank said Id yell R.T.

The railway inspector, puzzled by this, asked, Whats R.T.?

Hank said, R.T.s my buddy and he aint never seen no train wreck like that would be!
