    Why are you guys tearing off so many mud flaps (aka splashguards)? Three spares on the deck plate? Anyone doing drop and hook you are excused.

    Back in my RR garbage days, those concrete bumpers took off more mudflaps than we could take. Never a shortage of mudflaps in a rail yard,,,

    The bumpers are visible aren't they? What am I thinking? I've heard that looking in your mirrors in longer taught at driving academies.

    Our drop lot had curb along one side that collected a few every week...then the landlord re-paved and added parking bumpers so now we have 2X as many laying around. So many that I stopped 'collecting' them

    Looks like yours lasted 350 miles longer than the OP. Yours must have been made in the GOOD factory in China!:D
