When you don't have a Cabbage car........

Make the Brakie ride the rear.
And of course - to comply with safety regulations, you must have a light on the rear car, and a way to put on the brakes. The braking is easily done, a pipe with a valve and a fitting, but the light is a little harder. The B&ML shop crews came up with a good one - run an extension cord from the nearest HEP equipped car, and use a spotlight.
This Push-Pull operation was necessary, as there is no way to run around a train at the Common Ground Fairgrounds.
