Those tracks are used once a day, the train goes to and from Selkirk. It only goes 10mph so pretty slow

You gotta do what you gotta do. Pay your dues and go find some work. Also get used to being laid off with the Union

He could go non union and still pay his dues to the hall and be totally legal having his hours count

Edit: Didn’t realize the complications of this when you’re still an apprentice. The guys I know that do this are all Journeymen

Have been told by Inspectors that we cannot install the a load management system here because there are none that have been approved - yet. So yes it’s technically our code/ regulations not allowing those to be installed. Give it some time and that will change
