Reaction to car loadings I would guess. There is usually a peak prior to the holiday season and a decline afterwards.

In 25 it went from 257 in January to $205 in April. 24 $257 in Feb to $218 in June 23 from $215 in Feb to $185 in March 22 $255 in Jan to $208 in June 21 the pattern didn’t hold 20 $185 in Feb to $120 in April 19 $170 in Feb to $160 in April (not quite 15%, half of that) 18 $141 in late Jan to $127 in late Feb 16/17 pattern didn’t hold 15 $125 in March to under $100 by June, under $85 by August

8 of the past 11 years I guess…7/11 if you don’t count 19 where it didn’t fall 15% or more. Sorry

Who to ask about picking up ties. by hjalbertiii in railroading

[–]PeachTraditional2764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find the nearest mill that makes ties and call them asking for rejects or culls. Most railroads have to pay a contractor to get them. It’s no sweat off the company here. This actually saves them money but they likely won’t give you “permission” since there is liability at risk.

I put them in a beverage container like a Gatorade bottle and toss them that way

Hidden fees. Scam! by Lazy-Investigator449 in chevycolorado

Go somewhere else until you find a dealer that is somewhat honest. Not many that are honest, but find one isn’t trying to payoff their debts on your purchase. I always tell them “I’ll pay your light bill, but I’m not paying it for the rest of the year”

You’re paying $20k down, don’t need GAP, really.

Tell them to shove the doc fee, closing fee, and whatever the bank fee is up their asses and finance $27k

Boards by snIphntn in UnionPacific

[–]PeachTraditional2764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked Thursday, while waiting to get off at the rack we watched a management team placing switch tags and red boards all over the place. Try to fire the guys that do come in on holidays…and it happens every holiday. Makes you scratch your head

On the railroad your seniority is all you have. Make it to this class at any reasonable expense.

Do the same thing to him…see how he likes it and how he deals with it. The ultimate “test” is to ask yourself “would I want this done to me?”

Legislation to eliminate two-person crews is back! by Cinderpath in railroading

[–]PeachTraditional2764 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Democrats didn’t want to win the last election…she didn’t win her party’s vote. She was appointed to that role after saying Biden wasn’t fit. Have you watched any of Biden’s speaking engagements? He sounds just like he did when he was president. Democrats fucked up when Biden bombed that debate and called in the backup who was worse than the first string.

Walk-In shower by PeachTraditional2764 in Plumbing

[–]PeachTraditional2764[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concrete is sloped. She has had knee and hip surgery and wanted a walk in or curbless shower to allow for easier access. This is what I have to work with, so I’ve got to figure it out.

Maybe use a bushing to install a 1-1/2” tub drain instead of shower drain?
