That's too funny. There has to be a powerworker in the forum that can explain what this means...

I dont know about in the Electricity felid, but "humping" in referance to freight train cars refers to a process used to break up trains and sort, or "classify", the individual cars and get them to the right tracks in a yard. Basically, the train is driven backwards a short distance, and they slam on the brakes. At the same moment a brakeman jogs alongside the moving train and throws a lever that uncouples a car or group of cars at the end of the train. These cars fly off on their own momentum down the track that has been selected for them, with no brakes, and they don't stop till they run out of inertia, or until they hit other cars parked on that line (the BOOM!!! sound you may hear from your local yard). Freight cars can safely collide at 5mph or less, they just lock onto each other at the coupler; sometimes a crew that's in a hurry to hump off a train will send them faster than 5mph, though.

Not that any of that is of an relevance to the photo.

sorry if that was more info than anyone cared to hear, i get a little excited and long winded talking about trains.
