Yeah TR, the same deal, although I wasn't aware of that term. My younger brother was paralyzed from the neck down in an auto accident in '79. So, now they are referred to as 'leg bags' for daytime/mobile use and 'night bags' for sleep. I was thinking this morning, that term I first heard was not cabooseman's friend, but brakeman's friend. I believe it was from the '73 movie, The Sting, with Redford and Newman. Not sure though. Seems during one of thier earlier cons, one of them used it during a poker game, as a side bet thing. Guess, I'll have to rent the movie soon to find out. Oh. BTW, from what I hear these days, alot of truckers and others are just filling up the one gallon plastic water/milk containers and tossing them out the window. Guess it's cheaper and less maintenance.
