[edit] FRED and Wilma
Ha ha! I hadn't heard that one before, and I had to think about it for a bit until I realized that the HOT (Wilma) works with the FRED. I think we could improve the wording a bit to make the pun a little more clear to the reader. Slambo (Speak) 11:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Feel free to make the association clearer. I can't think of a clever way to put it at the moment, but that's maybe because I'm exhausted from working on Railway signalling#Signaling in the U.S. and Direct Traffic Control...(sorry, I just had to throw those in...they need work, but I'm proud of what I started...) cluth 04:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

- A few days ago, I reworded the FRED/Wilma association. Also, I'm posting a picture of a Wilma. Clearer? cluth 09:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
As a kid playing around on the RR tracks, we always used to hide after the train went past in order to avoid being seen by the camera on the flashing end of train device. After reading this article, I feel duped by an urban legend. It doesn't sound like there's any camera that's used to record mischievious little kids.
