The first one is a 'What's it?' It's not as rude as it appears to be. i've left a good clue. Then a couple signs i found and a pic from my nursery. i hope you all are having a great weekend!

Yes, you have left a good clue for that sign, probably the other two as well.
Choo Choo . . . ;-) ;-) ;-)
LMAO!! Oh Wow..Classic My Friend!

Saw these on the rail cars carrying 737 fuselages into the factory.
yes, this does mean something to those who drive trains into/out of railyards.
I need the first sign for my dog. Love your nursery picture!
Well it's been a couple days now and ho2cultcha hasn't given the answer to his "what's it" DO NOT HUMP sign, and nobody else has offered, so may I?? ;-) :-)
(I grew up in a railroad town, so I knew right away...)
DO NOT HUMP is a sign that (as dav2no1 observed) is sometimes posted on certain freight train cars -- generally ones carrying oversize or fragile or otherwise 'special' cargo of some kind. The sign is an indicator (as ho2cultcha added as a further clue) to the people who work in the actual trainyard assembling and reassembling any given train's consist of cars that the so-marked car requires non-typical handling while in the yard -- or in other words CANNOT simply be shoved back and forth over the "hump" in a trainyard to be coupled/re-coupled to other cars via gravity, the way the majority of train cars get assembled into a consist. Instead, the DO NOT HUMP car is required to be moved around with particular care, probably by an actual switch engine, and/or moved around in a particular path thru the railyard.
[the also-fact that the signs can generally cause children great amusement when they see/read them from the backseat of Mom' car while waiting for the train to pass is just accidental...]
Thank you Anything Obscure! that is a great explanation. My friend Joey who gave it to me worked on trains for years and he told me what it meant, but i had forgotten. Thank you!!
