    A yard switch engine and crew switching out cars of incoming trains and building up out going trains as well as making up transfers of rail cars to local destinations/industrial sites.

    (Sigh.  Why do they keep sending these kids in here?)

    Ok, Gen-X, it’s a play on words from a portion of the lyrics to a 1979 song by a group called M, “Pop Muzik”.

    After seeing only Nanoose's answer and your comment at the very bottom of Page 1, I was ready to post the song.

    I then went to "Page 2" -- at the time I posted, the very top of Page 2 had #Canadian Gangsta's question. I smiled seeing her question and your posting the song. And the lyrics. I love that song a lot.
    I will admit that I didn't catch on immediately Nanoose's answer and your "Clever" comment -- but I was "there" very quickly.

    And people say “the rap“ has weird lyrics.

      The majority of music has weird lyrics. If you just read them without associating them to being the words to a song, many make little sense at all.

    Ain't that the truth? Strange song but so much fun to me.
    I like the song a lot, and I still didn't catch the initial song reference going on. I enjoyed your admitting you didn't "get it" up there. I'm glad I'm not the only one who misses things sometimes.
