In "Petticoat Junction",
da cantankerously-overbearing and
money-hungry Homer Bedloe often formed a one-person/one-vehicle "loco-motive" --- whenever he missed
da Hooterville Cannonball (usually doe to his own fumingly-distracted arrogance!), he had no alternative but to puffingly perform his infamous "Up, down! Up, down! Up, down!" routine --- i.
e., operate da pump-handle-powered hand-car to undignifiedly transport himself down the miles of
hot twisty tracks from Hooterville to Pixley.
