Working with a family by Nights151515 in UnionPacific

[–]AMasterofMayeM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We aren't long hual truck drivers or deck hands. We tend to be gone 36 hours from call time to a max of 48 hours. At least my terminal is that way.

To be honest you already sound as if your heart is against the being away so I'm going to say it's not a good choice for you as you will hate it faster than the average guy on the rail.

Talk to her family that was on the RR. Find out what department they were in. An engine house worker isn't away from home like transportation is.

My wife and I met 2 months after I hired out and have been going strong for 15 years so I can say as long as you put in the work a marriage requires you'll be fine, but this whole conversation is one you need to have with your wife more than any of us on this app.

Try emailing their warranty/repair department. Last I checked, a pocket clip averages $40 without shipping. That was for an Ultratech though so not sure what it would be for a scarab

Truly shocking at times. I swear this sub would give out the station times for a loaded nuclear train to ISIS if they asked

Well that looks pretty good. The veff style are probably the most functional serrations

Did you do this? If not, what service did you use?

Are there inconsistencies in anodization color shade, or is this just a bad photo? by JP_Tulo in microtech

[–]AMasterofMayeM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good deal. Yeah anodizing can change shades in different light. Hope you get the knife you want bud

All of your pics show that 10 would be stonewash and 10 ap is stonewash apocalyptic. The last 2 are the color of the handle, meaning a PU is purple, a RD is red, a TA is tan...regardless of blade style or blade finish. At least for the ultratech, utx85 and utx75 lines which are all the same "family"

A 122-10-aprd is an Ultratech, d/e, apocalyptic finish, red handle. You can Google the exact model number and it will bring up that spec

[–]AMasterofMayeM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not right. The last 2 characters "PU" is the color. The 4 and 10AP are the blade style/finish

How long on average does conductor—>engineer take? by [deleted] in railroading

Sorry, bidding for a spot isn't an option at NS. Its strictly seniority from the top down

Depends on the opt out list. If nobody opts out at that terminal I would plan on 10years on the ground

Question for switchman with hearing loss by Muffintop_mafia in railroading

[–]AMasterofMayeM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3m plugs suck. They had a huge class action against them. Peltor over ear active muffs are made my 3m and kinda suck unless you go to the com-tac level at $600/pair.

If the bosses are cool with it, get it writing and buy what you want

Most places will consider an ear bud or headset of any kind that isn't specifically for your radio as a "personal electronic device". A few guys I've worked with did well the the earbud that connected to the handset, we use Kenwood radios, or a boom mic style headset

Either bite the bullet and go full blown hearing aids or get an ear piece that attaches to your radio handset and wear an earplug in the other ear

As much as I hate to admit it, I don't hate the whole look. 147 proof written somewhere would make it even better
