    Fine specimen of a Man, working alone on a lonely railroad, well knowing what he's talking about, shouldering the responsibility of the outcome of a very important work, educating the general public. And keeping it all light on top of it. Pity in these days one usually has to look above fifty or sixty years of age to find his likes. He's worth his salt, and much more.

      A lot of young people will say "By golly, 73 and still cutting wood? Why don't you have someone else do it for you?" My grandfather worked every day of his life, and I had said something similar when I was young. He told me something like "Who else will do it, and what will I have to do in the meantime?" For men work gives us a purpose in life and we pride ourselves on being as self-sufficient as we can be. We have to feel useful and always do our part.

    Mad respect to you Sir! I’m only 48, but my body has been destroyed due to a car accident in 1993 and work injuries in 2009 (same month and day - 04/03). I was able to continue working physical jobs until 2016, but eventually I had to get my ssdi.
    When I watch these kind of videos, it really makes me miss hard work…I miss work in general. It’s almost harder mentally than it is physically to no longer be able to work. I’m able to still do little things around the house, but I usually end up not stopping when I should and I pay for it for a few days.
    I’m not crying at all. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your daily adventures with us. Just subbed and now I’m gonna watch the rest of your videos.

Creative hobbies (especially ones that have useful results, like computer programming) can really fill in the gaps. I ride motorcycles sometimes so I like to plan for a possible future where I'm unable to walk. There's nothing I can do about how much I'll wish I can go back in time but at least I can ensure I have a way to keep on living (although I'm cheating by already being a programmer and avid gamer, so I spend most of my time sitting anyway lol).

      @jimpowell1802 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Keith Stevens As I’m sure you are aware, when large railroads merge rail service is usually changed to benefit the railroad. For example, if L&N’s mainline is from say Louisville to Lexington to Cincinnati and C&O’s mainline is from Louisville to Cincinnati the company will choose the route that saves the most time and money. The other route will be abandoned or left to local carriers.
      Does this help?

    Dave, next time if you have to change out a joint bar by your self and have a difficult time lining up the bolt holes even with a drift pin, loosen up the joint at the other end of the rail just enough for the rail to move and close the gap a little , you may have to loosen the other joint at the other end of the other rail but it depends on how cold it is.
    When we had jointed mainline rails, we made sure the ties under the joint are tight under the rail, hanging ties beneath the joint is one of the causing factors with joint bars cracking, the NP was smart at putting a tie centered directly under the joint which helped keep the joint bars from cracking.

    • @ccrx6700
      @ccrx6700  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Thanks Jason for the tip. Good advice. What I did not say or show
      was the next day after this, I did come up and tamp this joint,
      it did need some ballast under it to solidify it. Jointed track is
      a curse as you well know. Always is a delight to have you pay

    I stayed on the video expecting him to thermite weld the railroad joints together, probably the following video.

    • @ccrx6700
      @ccrx6700  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      All of our welding is done by contractors. They will not thermite'
      or flash butt weld a joint that has that 3rd bolt hole that close
      to the weld. However at a later date we did replace both rails
      and put in some new ties there Roberto.
      Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video my friend and may you have a very good day. And, if you haven't already done so, check out my second channel with more cool railroad videos and other stuff I get into on it. Your the kind of person I would love to have as a subscriber to it.

    you are killing at 68! I learned this trade at 24 and the old heads were machines, so impressed.
    Had lots of injuries on our class 1 when glancing blows on a drift pin sent a shard of metal into someones arm or even eye. Always good to wrap duct tape around the and of the drift pin and keep the sharp mushroomed edges ground down.
    Nice video! Jointed rail makes life easy for changing bars! No fire snake needed!

      I beg to differ. We are not so inefficient in California. We require seven trucks and sixteen people. You forgot the shovel leaner and the pudwhacker. Both are also mandatory on all CALtrans job sites and PG$E sites as well. Highly paid with awesome pensions provided by the taxpayer. 🍻
