I have heard of the railway station dog, and also the railway station cat, but NEVER heard of the railway station baboon.
Baboons are intelligent creatures, so potentially Jack might have been a dinkum employee.
Back in the good ole days, smog hollow tramway ticket snappers would ride the footboards of the toast-rack style trams collecting and snapping cattle tickets.
But, I doubt that any conductors did the James Jumper Wide technique.
OH&S would make this folly verboten today.
Though, some smog hollow teens have discovered a method of tempting fate by riding the extended Scharfenberg coupler between the pair of the stupid smog hollow light rail dingi.
One joyriding teen falling off and being run-over.
So, we may have some modern day James Jumper Wides here.
