      You have equipment operators of the contactor (hulcher), the ground guys, usually 4, the wreckmaster and his assistant. The ones in the yellow vests are supervisors from different departments of the railroad, Engineering, transportation and mechanical department. You don't know the situation, it's really none of your business. It's a private company doing what they need to get back to operations.

    • @PTSF_Jaeger
      @PTSF_Jaeger 11 месяцев назад

      They do make new pipelayers, but the'yre not common and therefore expensive. Older machines can generally be had for cheaper, and are still supported by Cat. Better investment than buying a new machine, generally

      Which one is the safety geek and which one is the boss? The guys in the orange vest seem to the labor from Hilcher. The yellow vests are likely railroad employees who screwed up and derailed the train.

      @williamscott6325 3 года назад +3

      In this kind of work people standing around moving their bodies and arms around telling fishing stories or talking about the football game is very distracting to the operators doing the lifting you probably never operated heavy lifting equipment other than a fork and spoon at dinner so in their pockets is the best place for them

Did a lot of times your training new guys write down what they doing right now is putting the wheels together for the Springs back in the axle solix it set the wheels back on the Railcar

      Some of those people that are standing around are investigators and insurance adjusters and the like. My old man used to go to disasters and he would look like a worker in orange vest, hard hat etc. But it was mandatory for him to be there because he was the adjuster and it was required for him to watch the cleanup and see all damages that his company would be providing reimbursement for. There’s more going on behind the scenes that we know what these incidences.

      What? The railroad hired the contractor. Those are supervisors from different departments. A general and Senior general car foreman, a signal foreman, probably a mid level engineering manager along with the roadmaster. You people talk out your ass on shit you know nothing about.
