Frozen ride across the Smokies but warm and dry coming back!

Rocky Mount, North Carolina yard.
As the worker walked past my hiding spot and discovering me inside the hole of my grainer he asked me was I Shoestring.  I said yes.  He said you don't have to ride back here on this freezing car so why don't you ride up with us on the trailing power locomotive where it's warm and dry.
So I gathered up qll my gear and marched up to the third locomotive and got inside and turned on the heat and dried out all my wet gear and soon drifted off to sleep.
