reefer end of car stencil (began as Rr-69)

I don't think anyone has brought this up before. It was not an uncommon stencil. Anyone want to research
the question and tabulate all the known uses of this stencil ? :-)

But I agree with Eric -- could be an indirect way of saying "don't kick this car down the track!"

I suspect it’s a directive to not kick it down a track on its own. Shove into place and uncouple or have a brakeman ride it to apply brakes to a stop. 

Just guessing.

In the photo of Rr-69 in the lower left corner it says "Shove or Ride to Rest".   No idea what this means?

Thoughts?
