Sisters fiance works for the NS at the Elkhart IN yards. He's a locomotive electrician, makes a good check, has a steady schedule. Started out as a fueler, moved up. He told me that they were hiring trackmen, electricians, laborers, etc, this last spring.

opps , I now Up is trying to save on fuel and maintance costs but thats not what they mean by doubleheading a train .. , and the engnieers seat is going to have to he steam cleaned . because first you say it then you do it .. glad to see the conductor servived , that front compartment took a beating , this is one of the only good reasons for no cabooses .
Oh yea, No go on the CN . no reason given . I have talked to Hulcher ( train rerailers) and they seamed interested ( because my clean driving record and mechanical background ) , I know weird hours and on call 24/7, but the pay will make up for it if I get hired . |

Cobra thanks for the PSA, I worked for UP back in 06 as a conductor, I would still be on furlow. I work with a guy that was in class 6 mo prior to me and he is still out, but getting hopeful of a recall soon.

On the train for the second time in 3 weeks and sure enough we hit a car that had stalled or something on the tracks. 20 minute delay. Only took the rear facial panel (formerly known as a bumper) off. Doesn't take much. Only found out what happened when a passenger from that location got on the train. All the Sounder did was apologize for the delay. They had said something to the effect that 'something was on the track' earlier.
Made my connection as they held the next train for about 100 or so of us. I felt nothing other than the train stopping about 300 feet early.

I went through this intersection about 10 minutes before this happened.
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=403318 A family member of the truck driver was reportedly quoted as calling him a "hero" because he only needed stitches in his head. I think he needs his head examined for trying to beat the train. Yes, the crossing is well-marked and the gates always work, and no, he was not stuck in traffic. A witness said he drove through a red light and made a left turn right through the gates.

Lucky the truck was empty and the train (northbound) was probably mostly empty too.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
