[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2454811, member: 116439"] My dad worked for the CNJ Rail Road (Central of New Jersey) and used to bring home "Bangsticks" these were a powder charge with lead ends to wrap around the RAIL to hold in place. They were used to alert a train Engineer that there was a problem with the track ahead. When the train rolled over the "Bangstick" it would go off and make a really loud explosion sound. No damage to the train, but a loud sound. My dad would always bring them home and blow them off around the 4th of July. We had the LOUDEST fireworks. Well being 8-9-10 years old I would sneak some out of his Stach and blow the up with my partners in crime. Today if you are a kid doing what we all did-we would be noted as a "Homeland Terrorist". Got to stay of LRH forum for a while. Modifying our Mill with outrigers, power feeds and lifts. Have to drill into the table to mount stops for the feed. This will be fun. Have to get out my Cobalt drill bits. [/QUOTE]
