"I know a railwayman of 40-odd years' service," says Juan Quar, "and he tells me a new gruesome yarn each time we meet. Last week's was of checking the time on the wristwatch of a severed arm he'd just collected after a track fatality."
Tell us the horrible stories you tease the new hires with, or that you've been told.
NB By definition, these are probably all made up. Roll with it

Friend of mine is a coastguard officer. He got called out to a potential jumper off a local bridge (the Hull-Scunthorpe one, quite high, popular with depressives).
Got there to find an off duty fireman had got there first, and was stood holding an empty jacket over the edge of the railing...

But the bridge has got fuck all to do with Scunthorpe. It was built for us travellers from the east coast.
