[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CliqueofOne</i> <br /><br />In the spring of 2002 I was installing the rods on a new power switch just west of the station in London Ontario when an arriving Via passenger dumped a load on said switch. What a mess. Calling my supervisor over to show him what I'd be working in, he goes through the spiel about how he has complained about the practise of dumping toilets on the tracks and being told that it had been stopped. As if he was the only one to take exception to it. Gloves, boots and such are of no value when around this stuff. It gets on everything. It spreads like crazy. I tell all the new guys never to put their hands anywhere near their eyes. A signal construction gang when out on the tracks in the middle of nowhere don't have the privilege of washrooms and such. It's a wonder we all don't get more sickness than we do. Maybe the fresh air and sunshine help. Yes I'm concerned about the human excrement deposited on the tracks but I'm even more concerned about the toxins leaking, dropping and flying off the cars as they go by. The tracks have now become the Love Canal on rails. Gene B. Signal Mechanic. Signal Construction. Canadian National Railways.
