Hope you can get the Boeing shots in the daytime? Are there fuselages and such on the trains? I am a flight simmer also, and that would be cool to see if possible!
Everett plant not the Renton 737 plant so no not much chance of the big jets being seen transported in the open
Here we go again south Seattle container trailer load out Caught a pair of GP units Graffiti unit looks to be possibly ex csx Note chopped db Plus a pair at delta yard Everett Darkest night shot
Well it comes to a close I worked 81.5 hours and they only paid me for 39 because they say they only pay you when your on trip So when your sitting there waiting for the next crew your not getting paid just like a taxi cab Fun while it lasted
Well Vince, that's called getting railroaded! It is what "they" do. And they do it well. Did you ever hear of any other industry being used as a term for getting screwed?
Yeah, I was not going to say anything when you started this, but from talking with a lot of railroad crews, I got the feeling that the van drivers had a tough job. Long hours and in the end, not all that much on the clock to get pay. There are stories of the driver being so sleep deprived, nodding off and all, that the engine crew put them in the back to sleep while they did the driving. They felt safer that way.
Yup. Essentially you worked two weeks, but were paid for less than one. These outfits are constantly advertising for help, with big turnovers- and complaining about being short staffed. Was it also union? (Possibly SEIU?) Oh well. you have some interesting memories.
Yes. They beat what few drivers they have who will show up, to pieces; do what they did to vince, and other stuff..... Wages and bennies are usually insufficient anyhow....
