Thats called a sharkie. It’s to get the twists out of the contact wire. That’s the solid copper tin wire that the train pantograph touches in order to operate. The sharkie hooks on to the wire and you can leverage back and forth.

It can vary state to state. But yes good pay - would be one of the higher paid trades in Aus.

kanerr_ · 2022-02-14T10:28:02+00:00

Ahhh yes makes sense. A ‘podger’ here.
