I saw this spray painted on a train. I'm sure this message has a different meaning for a train geek...
Huhuhuh, hump...
HUMP
In a railroad classification yard, the hill (or hump) that freight cars are rolled down and then diverted to one of a number of tracks for makeup into individual trains.
Couple: To connect two cars to each other. It's what holds the train together.
