Gutsy move, Walt, but if it was me I would have stayed on 'til Binghamton.
Great story, though.

Luckily,  I slept with my boots on & only had to jump up & grab my
grip & be out the back door. Snow blowing around the rear between the
cabooses , 3AM and dark, and the increasiing roar of the 2 pushers getting a
run for the climb to Clark's Summit. I could faintly see the lights of the
old yardoffice across from Bridge 60 tower and I bailed off the steps into
the foot or 2 of snow.
Nobody was watching as I hit & rolled a time or 2. The 2 big FMs passed &
their markers faded to the other side of the Lackawanna River. I picked up
my grip & began the long walk back to the parking lot on Cedar Avenue.
Hey, I'd cheated death again & learned a good lesson.
