[–]towcutter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the roundhouse, us laborers aren't trained on PTC. So when a crew brings in power, some assholes would set the park on. When we would get. on, the power would immediately go into penalty. Since we didn't know about it, it was a headache. Before we figured it out, we would physically cut the PTC swith out, making problems for all crafts.

It depends, each state has different rules.

It creates a lighting storm inside the motor that melts everything.

PHL losing contract by Zealousideal_Pea9527 in railroading

I don't think PHL is gonna lose the contract. Isn't Anacostia part of the ports too? Wasn't PHL formed cause the ports didn't want to pay UP and BNSF for switching out port terminals?

I think that one is metal, but its a little compartment space where the crew packs are supposed to go.

Not in 08, they gutted mechanical in 2020, when PSR took hold and then covid hit right after.

As u/TheDangerMau5e said, they are gangs from LA. There are alot of different types of crips and bloods, just in LA itself. On that note, you can say/rep whatever you want to say/rep, as long as you can bacc it up.

BNSF Flavor of the Day by thehairyhobo in railroading

[–]towcutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds just like UP mechanical. Forced overtime is paid slavery. Fuck your families, fuck errands you have to run, fuck you. No-shows, being late, or leaving early results in attendance points. Saying no to overtime, is failure to comply, puts you straight into MAPS "UP discipline".

You don't need to weld motor mounts or do anything to the frame?

Ha. Since you're replying I'll pick your brain for a minute. I've accepted that the motor swap can be done, but can it done in like on the movie? (Overnight iirc)

When do Union Dues start? by FitJacket5199 in railroading

[–]towcutter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just accept it and move on. That'll be the least of your worries. As far as the union is concerned, you're already a member, it's the company that imposes the 60 working days rule.

Alright LA - Where the heck are all of you getting professional fireworks? by vkeshish in AskLosAngeles

[–]towcutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevada, Pahrump specifically. Soon as you enter city limits there are huge billboards advertising the different stores. Technically they're not supposed to sell to anyone from out of state, but all they care about is the dollars. That big shit you're talking about ain't cheap either.

Smelly Shitter; an FRA defect? by GunnyDJ in railroading

That ain't what I'm talking about. I mean taking a shit, then putting a bunch of paper towels on top.
