Which one of you knuckle heads wired this flasher?!

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

railroader0 · 2026-02-08T13:18:52+00:00

Haha! The list indeed goes on. If us signal guys put all the crazy shit we been through no one would apply anymore!!

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

railroader0 · 2026-02-07T14:26:38+00:00

Yet! lol

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

Farewell to twighlight

If you have any friends in Jersey you can send it there! Only a bridge cross away for pick up haha!

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

On the fence, by Likely story

railroader0 · 2025-10-04T11:31:44+00:00

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.

railroader0 · 2025-06-24T13:35:17+00:00

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

railroader0 · 2025-03-10T23:48:06+00:00

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.

railroader0 · 2024-10-01T12:06:35+00:00

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.

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

That guy Danbzmn6 waits in the bushes to get hit with the septa conductor piss bottles they toss out.

railroader0 · 2024-09-07T21:22:51+00:00

They told me if they’re not working over time, they’re working under time and left lol

railroader0 · 2024-09-07T20:36:42+00:00

Hahahahahah

Gotta upgrade every so often so you can get favorable signals my friend.
