I think of that a lot when I'm on the river where the tracks run along it. Every once in awhile a car or two ends up in it.

The boys will be making good OT money.
You gotta be on the ball working train wrecks.Lots of bent steel under stress,got to be careful cutting it.
Some de-railments are pretty routine,but wrecks are something else.Worked an acid trainwreck once in dead of winter.Sulfuric acid puddles under the snow all over the place.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

The question is did they get there money back? Yes or no or maybe so?

I got a friend up east of Abilene I used to sell fur to his dad that does that work. They get paid well when they are gone.
He is easy to remember because he can set 330s with his hand one right after another so we never arm wrestled him LOL

When I lived in NW PA. Those were the colors of our old Bessemer-Lake Erie engines, but that was 40 years ago.

The moisture in rotten ties will freeze and they get brittle and break under load... That allows the rails to shift away from each other and then you've got a mess.

That's how it was explained to me by a MOW worker.
