Posted by the one and only ED <br /> <br />"Or, and those non railroaders you mentioned are not Cargill employees...they are Econorail, a contract switching service, made up of scab railroaders who have managed to get themselves fired from just about every professional railroad they worked for...if you are lucky, they show up sober, or just toked up...unlucky means they are so trashed they cant get off the locomotive to line the switch, so they just run through it instead. <br /> <br />What tickles me is you are commenting on a place and a service you have never set eyes on, you have zero idea of the lay of the land, the constraints this elevator has to work around, nor do you have the basic knowledge on how trains really work and what is involved to make them work, yet you feel qualified to make assumptions based only on your dislike of BNSF...how silly." <br /> <br />"ECONORAIL"??????? are you kidding me? There is a such thing? Holy crap! When we used to pick up trains in Gillette, we picked them up from the scabloaders....Rail Link. You could tell which mines used Rail Link by the knuckles laying on the ground. <br /> <br />FM-You give other members on this forum a bad name. Guys like you wear me out....Why? As Ed said you have never turned a wheel. Some of you all pop off and wouldn't know a Frog from a wet fart. Your following quote is the type of crap that makes me wanna puke! <br />"....which of course never happens under the watchful care of the road crew! So how are all those flat spots and broken knuckles occuring?" <br />What do you mean...all those flat spots and broken knuckles....blah blah.? Truth is, I don't see alot of knuckles and flat spots. You make out road crews to be morons. Why? Were not. 99% of us take our job very seriously. A *** site more than in most industry. We are personally accountable for our actions. A willful violation could result in jail time. When we screw up it is usually bad. We have officials constantly observing us from A-Z. The penalty for botching up is from investigation and time off to lawsuit to jailtime. What is it that you do for a paycheck there stud? Hows about you share that with us and give me a crack at scrutinizing your career.
