Working rail roads and their tracks.

Here is a derailment cleanup in Duluth GA. Cool to see a locomotive moved with 4 side boom cats. Might be D9s?

Wonder if it's Hulker Services or RJ Corman doing the recovery. I had a chance to work for Hulker years ago but passed because due to the away from home time. The sidemounts are usually D8 or D9's. Good paying job but away from home ona moment's notice. Not for me.

Here is another video who state the contractor brought in is RJ corman to move things back and tractor-trailer was on the crossing and caused the derailment. This is a good video

RJ has a great documentary video on You Tube, worth taking the time to watch. Corman owns quite a few short lines in central Ohio and elsewhere and has a nice shop near St. Mary's Ohio. RJ also owns rolling stock and a number of locomotives.

Hulker has a big shop near Metcalf Field in Wallbridge, Ohio.

Like I said, good job, just lots of away from home time.

Boy...does that bring back memories!
My father worked for the MD Dept. of Forests and Parks since not too long after WW II. In the 1960's, he used to take us to various historical areas and parks in MD, Catoctin being one of them.
His last position with Forests and Parks (might have been Dept. of Natural Resources by then) was superintendent of Patapsco State Park. Buckeye, I'm sure you're familiar with that park.

I never worked for them, but did work on a derailment crew for a 1st Class Railroad. It was not always fun on a day to day basis, but it was neat to be so needed.

I was a welder, so once I was at a derailment in MN and there was a major derailment in MS where I was needed more. It was 4 AM and I was doing my laundry, and had to throw it wet into a garbage bag because I did not have time to wait for it to dry. When I got on the plane, the railroad had paid so much for my flight (bought hours before), that they held the plane for me...

It was 60 degrees in MN, and 107 degrees when I landed in MS. I almost died, but then was driven to the track, and by 1 PM I was welding. I worked to 1 AM, took a few hours off to grab some sleep, then went back. In the meantime I had got chiggers...we do not have them in Maine, and am I ever glad!

But it was time away from home. One year I was home a total of (7) weeks out of (52) for the year. It was (2) two week vacations, and a (3) week vacation! That was also the year I got divorced. Go figure!

My son went to patapsco park recently.
