List,

Last week I came across a Buffalo newspaper article from November 21, 1890 
where an engineer ran his train into a standing work train inside East 
Buffalo yard limits. While giving testimony he referred to his train as a 
"Wild Rat", i.e., a train without a schedule. Never heard that one before.
