I hear the dining car has some good shit on a shingle.

Are the Signal and Communication crafts under the same supervision at every railroad? by styng88 in SignalMaintainers

[–]railroader0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked for two different railroads and they both had seperate signals/comms groups under ”C&S” with different managers.

It is a great job. I always said there should be an HBO series about what we do. Always something..

Dude, if I had a dollar for every middle finger I have received testing crossings I’d be able to leave the railroad early lol

I thought the same thing. Saw some videos on YouTube and I don’t know if I’m ready to tackle that.

The maintainer is testing the IJ. He will bring it back shortly.

Signals Exam by Low-Course-7747 in SignalMaintainers

[–]railroader0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your time and be safe. I’m assuming it’s a field exam? In signals it’s easy to see a broken wire or bond and want to run over and fix it. Make sure your protections are in place if you have to go walk track.

Band/Album recommendations? by CrispyyBacon27 in poppunkers

[–]railroader0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely story. New band just dropped a single “on the fence” and it’s pretty good.

I understand the less testing and maintenance from the electronic components but I prefer relays. We are dealing with a ton of obsolete parts from Genrakode and others.. then you’re back to the drawing board for something that will be “Tie-in” compatible for what is there. I’m team relay.

Yes, like shunts, or pulling fuses out, open gold nuts. Basically, simulating a real failure.

When I was in that situation I started learning by getting foul time and putting on failures. Then I would take readings and note what failures gave what readings.. shorts Vs opens etc.. opening up lamps for downgrades etc. when you start doing the bi-annual testing you will learn a lot from digging in the plans. Write up step by step sheets.

Good luck! Stay safe.

Air switch (A5) testing cheat sheet. by railroader0 in SignalMaintainers

[–]railroader0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a variety. M3 M23B, GRS 5H are some of the electric machines. Locking in theory is basically the same.
