How a train stays on the tracks?

[TRNDRVR]

I work with a guy that's a bit dingy... his truck was on the track, he left his boom out, then took off down the track... taking out the next signal mast he came to. I hate working around him....

Let me guess...the Glenwood Springs window guy?

I don't think my grinding shoes will take care of that. That's got to be a good 5 inches......Ummmm FRA will frown on that.

Probably not, that was a pretty large hole.

The FRA guy investigating the derailment was the one what wrote 'save' on that truck, as it was the one that caused the derailment. They were keeping it from the scrappers, for the derailment investigation. A trainmen didn't fully release the brake on a car, it started dragging awhile after they picked up the car and eventually derailed on a switch.

We have one of those in our Provo yard....kinda scary. I'm glad I'm mechanical and he is section.

Hummmm... I worked in the Provo yard for a bit, early in my UP career. I might know who you're talking about.

Let me guess...the Glenwood Springs window guy?

Sadly, no. Different guy... kinda scary how there's more than one questionable guy that I work with.
