" The Big Bang Theory "
Danny L. and others were working with Art M. who said that if they could get enough track torpedoes and fuses he could make a bomb.
They were working the H.P. Hanlans Point job at the time, switching among others, Canada Malting, Victory Mills, Loblaws, and the Team Tracks.
He had a five gallon glass jug, so they gathered up the supplies packing the stuff in with wet newspaper.
The first move of the day was at two warehouses with a track running between them.
There were empties at the block where bums would occasionally sleep in and on cardboard boxes.
Art goes down with his five gallon jug and drapes it in front of the knuckle of the empty car, and gives the signal to drop a one hundred ton grain car down, which we did and he gets out of the way, and as the car couples on, there is a resounding boom between the cars, with a huge flame coming out the ends of the car and wi ndows in the warehouse smashed, and alarms went off, and so did we.
Bums jumped out of the empty car, some still wrapped in the paper they used as blankets and go running like mad, the Police came but we were long gone.
The Hogger went flying back to the Yard, the next day another day and another bomb, but the Hogger bid off the job because he didn't want to work with those crazies.
There was much speculation as to what had happened but , insofar as we know they never got to the bottom of it.
