Brings alot of memories for me...I hired on the Santa Fe Railroad In 1990 as a brakeman and became an Engineer in 1991. I worked out of San Bernardino California for 14 years and.transferred to Galesburg Illinois in 2004 where I am still working as a Locomotive Engineer with 31 years in. My dad,grandfather and great grandfather were all conductors for Santa Fe.

Sadly, growing up in California, the BNSF is only a "ghost" of what the old ATSF used to be. After the 80's and 90's when all the old branch and secondary main lines were pulled up, forcing the Eastside central valley farmers to go intermodal (trucks) was a backwards step.

I personally understand all too well about damage and loss merchandise issues. (56:30 - 57:51) I worked for FedEx for nearly 30 years-21 of those years working as an assistant tractor/trailer dispatcher out of Sky Harbor Airport. I saw a few instances of damaged merchandise arriving on 53 foot trailers because it was mishandled through improper loading procedures. I have to admit, I wondered to myself: "How do we keep customers if we delivery stuff like that?"

@jamesgroccia644 6 ай бұрын

I've only been working as a package handler at FedEx for 3 years, and I see very messy trailers in the unload end of the warehouse. The van lines also get messy loads and damaged packages. Case and point, I'm surprised we still have customers.

The most interesting thing about the safety messages being presented at the beginning of this film is that the necessary and required information is given by simple, illustrative examples....... No prohibitive rules or exhortations of what can not be done..........no vast array of signs .......no resort to quoting regulations ......no paperwork ..... Just good old fashioned 'common sense'.....and the ability to look at a job.......weigh up what wants doing and how to do it....... The simple "...that's not safe....." being the only necessary observation...........compatible with the phrases, "...take care...." or........" ..be careful... " You have to be a certain age to recognise this............although the simplicity of the simple, illustrative example would go a long and refreshing way in today's.......... 'elf & safety' .........bureaucratic world. James Hennighan Yorkshire, England

1970 vintage!. It is certainly beautiful to see railway cars from a time before spray-paint cans became available, thus making it possible for hare-brain individuals to vandalize railway property. 2021/07/03.

@gravelydon7072 3 жыл бұрын

We had spray paint in cans back then. Just back then kids didn't destroy property like they do today. In fact, the local Sherwin-Williams paint store would mix custom colors for you and then put it in spray cans. Now you have to produce an ID to prove you are over 18 to buy spray paint. Which is kind of stupid because it is people who range from teenagers to mid 30s who are the ones doing the damage. Back then we would have been arrested for the damage, and then gotten our bottoms warmed by our parents. If you want to see some of my spray can work from back then, ibls.org/files/Companies/KostersMiniatureRailroadSupplies/Kosters_Miniature_Railroad_Supplies_Catalog_6B.pdf . And yes, I'm pictured in it. Little did I know that under 10 years later I would be working on full size equipment and acting as operating crew.

kind of arrogant when you consider that by their hard work and expertise building and maintaining track that you can safely drive a train on, they keep you and all other rail riders, employed, safe and alive, It seems on that account that they do a vital job that requires a great amount of skill and engineering expertise to perform. We owe those “track troglodytes” more respect than to call them wussies i think, surely you must’ve meant that in jest.

Yes, older style railroad cars meant to carry automobiles were largely exposed to the outside weather. However, over time too many cases of cars damaged by weather or debris, or victims of blatant theft as people would sneak in and steal parts are the reason why modern day autoracks are "covered" up from the outside.
