Bob;

Those were called railroad "torpedos". The ones I'm familiar were in a
copper strip that was folded around the rail; when a train wheel ran over
it, the pressure set it off. It was WAY more powerful than a Cherry Bomb.

<PRE>Hey Bill,.....We used to liberate picric acid tablets off cabooses in 
railroad yards to use for various teen-age terrorism. The actual use was as 
emergency signals by placing them on the tracks far back of a
stalled/stopped 
train . A very large explosion that could be heard over the train's  
operating warned the crew of a hazard ahead......Bob, juvenile, now senile
