(BNSF I believe owns that piece of track, so ALL The guys were there for that one).

He worked 25 hours straight on that particular derailment.

He now works as the Sup of Cars for a class 2 for a different RR.

You know what's so obviously missing here? Some sort of catheter setup. A real long tube with an out of sight disposal system. This thread has got to make it to 5000 just so we can say we did it.

Dan, it's not just your being out of bed at this hour that I find amazing, but your being able to think clearly enough to dig this kind of stuff up.

It doesn't happen every night, and no pattern to it. I wake up at around 3:16 am, feeling like I just had a full 8 hours sleep, when I only had 4 or 5.
Then I get sleepy again and return to bed for a couple of hours.
And with today being Veteran's day, I don't have to go to work.

Yep -- I'm in for the 5k contest. I'm hoping I'm not out of it since I have to get out to the field later. I think we might make 8x posts by then, knowing this group. LMAO!!!!

Don't count on it. I have training the rest of the week and half of next week. We've got a lot to cover, so no posting.

Who is doing the training? And is it because of your job relocation?
