For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

My guess was that they were hazing a rookie, but the real answer is funnier!

What do firefighters use to run hose across tracks? I would have just assumed that they didn’t do it at all.

They would contact the rail companies and ask travel be stopped, if possible. Otherwise they just run it across and hope. There are devices that can do the job, but my cousin says he's never seen any on an engine.
