These signs actually exist (30 Photos)

You use too many words.
Thanks for the really long ass description of what a hump is though..

#1 Hump is a railroad term for letting cars coast unattached to the engine in a switchyard.

and yet even after all that, I will still only see the off-color significance to the "do not hump" sign.

#18 – Is anyone surprised to see this sign in a state that borders Mexico? Yeah, me neither.

Cool story, bro. You sound like a riot at parties.

/ HUMP OR DEATH?

#30

#1 actually refers to the practice of taking a rail car to the top of a hill in the rail yard. It is then given a push down the hill, allowing gravity to pull the car down the hill to the proper track for sorting.
