Testing track, too far
Author: inCHI

Using a used $10 Tyco power pack for power for the first time, to test track that is only pinned down, nearing the end of the track and then I turn the knob the wrong way. Can't believe this balanced like this!

You need a $10 Tyco, AHM or Life Like locomtive to go with the $10 power pack. Far fewer tears in the event of a real tragedy.

The prototype photo almost looks like the east end drill track at Cheyenne.

That is the accident in Mira Loma.  Remember seeing it when I was going to work one day on Van Buren Ave.

It's the end of the track at the east end of the Mira Loma auto facility.-BMT

Please consider yourself out of service, you'll find your movement in the crew boards already complete as you are cut off and unable to place a bump or seniority move. Please keep in mind you will be subjected to a full investigation, piss test (mentioned), you also need to write a full statement of your actions which led to this horrificly dangerous event which placed so many of our valued employees in danger and turn it in to the on duty supervisor, the nurse is in transport to our location, do not leave the facility or tie up until your UA is complete. When finished, please tie up and vacate the premises. Further information from the trainmaster or your union representative will be forthcoming within 7 - 10 days. We at Big Railroad appreciate your cooperation during this stressful time. Thank you.
