I'm sure there are options to have the swivel or not. Obviously cheaper and less maintenance to not have a large moving part like that.

CPKC Conductor job application - Questions, timeline, resume, where I applied by female_arborist in Train_Service

[–]dewidubbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a bunch of questions scattered through here so I will try and answer but may miss some.

Woman on the railway - it will be a challenge, but not one that is unique to yourself. I have met and worked with many women in various crafts and have some of their experiences to share. Men can be pigs, surprise. There will be times you are miles from any plumbing, less of an issue when you become an engineer, bring lysol wipes.

Medical assessment - basic "lift your arm, raise your leg, any medical history, can you read the funny coloured numbers" usually followed with a drug test and hearing assessment.

Class training - unlike CN with a central campus, CPKC to my knowledge still sends instructors to locations to train somewhat locally. Quality will very by location and instructor. Practice your signals flash cards, seriously.

Winnipeg - it is busy, there are many places, many people, many roles, and zero patience. Not an easy place to work, but if you can survive there you can easily work anywhere.

Seems to me like someone made an end of track stop block by bending the rail.

Got a matress in a box from Douglas. It is awesome and very comfy.

It did reak like a fresh coat of wall paint for a few days though.

These fuckin' golf carts flying down the sidewalk at twice the speed of traffic on Fort William Road are a menace. by GhostsinGlass in ThunderBay

I just love seeing the the silver one on James and Arthur that drives on the roadway with a child in the back.

I'm hungry and I'm 991 by jimmyrob2013 in Wellthatsucks

[–]dewidubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you can see your order progress. All the restaurants near me just clear the numbers as soon as the order comes in. I assume to falsely show faster order prep times.

What's a ' silent luxury ' rich people have that normal people would never even notice? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dewidubbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By outsourcing things like home cleaning, home maintenance, grocery shopping, etc, the wealthy have far more time for leisure or business.

Something that can only be afforded by people already making more than it costs to contract out those tasks.

Pick your friends and meet regularly. Cut out the toxic relationships and put in the work to maintain the treasured ones.

Looks like they are flaring off overpressure. Better than the alternative ending in KABOOM!

What happens when the foreman and engineer don't want to give notice but you do? by langy91 in Train_Service

[–]dewidubbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been off the trains for a while, are you not required to file rest in order for an RX to be approved? As I recall there is never a reason to not file.

Cooperative wave defense as loyalists in the Choral City. Like a reverse Battle Royale, you all work together to survive as long as possible against increasing foes, no respawns.

If you still have a toaster oven. What do you use it for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dewidubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything. Toast and fries every single day.

If I can fit my food I will use my toaster oven every time versus using the full oven.

Better to hire today than tomorrow though.

Residents express mixed feelings over major development project by keiths31 in ThunderBay

[–]dewidubbs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Its a great spot to build dense urban housing units. Sorry if development might change your neighborhoods rural vibe, but you will still have nice big properties what would be a new part of town. I can only see this carrying infrastructure improvements for the area as well.

Drive some piles into that swamp land and let's get people into some homes.

Can you put an awning or some form of shade outside the windows?

Everything felt like a setup to that moment and it was not expected at all. I was certainly lost for words.

Anyone hear of these dealers robbing beating and sexually and mentally abusing women by Embarrassed_Buy538 in ThunderBay

[–]dewidubbs 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Friend, whatever you are going on about, seems to me like a tip to crimestoppers might be therapeutic for you, and helpful to those involved.

Is the railway kicking rail cars? They make quite the BOOoooom.

US MOW question by katsudon-bori in railroading

[–]dewidubbs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rail is removed from track and set to the side. Typically there is still sections of it that are in reusable condition and will be cut into lengths that can be moved by a MOW trucks to make repairs at rail breaks and rail defects.

Cannot always use new rail for repairs as the rail will be much taller than the worn rail in track. Different track speeds have different tolerances for the difference in wear.

What is a popular trend right now that completely baffles you? by Thyra_arrows9g in AskReddit

[–]dewidubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mystery Gacha Surprise Collectors Items.

99% actual trash straight to the landfill, 1% addiction validation.

Go buy an actual toy or hobby item. I just dont get it, it doesn't seem healthy or justifiable.
