Eastern Railroad Discussion > Former Iowa Pacific Cars Get Face Lift at RBMNDate: 10/13/21 09:27 Former Iowa Pacific Cars Get Face Lift at RBMN Author: Pirate I removed the post due to a bunch of whiners trying to find the negative in a good news rail story. Some of you deserve to be in the dark. In the future you can just guess. Some of you would complain no matter what someone posted. Thanks for spoiling the fun for everyone you KARENS , ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACKS and WHINERS ! If you want to see it now.....you can pay for a ticket.

Thanks for sharing the good news that these cars have found a great home and will be put to good service. Date: 10/13/21 13:19 Re: Former Iowa Pacific Cars Get Face Lift at RBN Author: P Were these volunteers or paid staff?

Car was rebuilt by IC in 1952 as a streamlined flat-end parlour observation lounge car. Believe it will become Reading & Northern (had Reading Blue Mountain & Northern reporting marks RBMN) car #6.

Out Date: 10/13/21 16:51 Re: Former Iowa Pacific Cars Get Face Lift at RBN Author: Lackawanna484 The regional short line operator Carload Express and the RBN often present extremely clean locomotives. It looks like that tradition will be extended to the expanded passenger car fleet.

Just like a class 1 rairoad! Either get all the work done and move on or take chance and go with the short cut. I myself always chose the short cut if possible.

Date: 10/14/21 08:26 Re: Former Iowa Pacific Cars Get Face Lift at RBN Author: pdt The RBMN is the last real railroad as we used to know them. SD40's, GP30's, end cab switchers, Budd cars, a working turntable, passenger service with a smile, etc., etc.

Karen just walked into the room Posted from Android Date: 10/14/21 14:51 Re: Former Iowa Pacific Cars Get Face Lift at RBN Author: VaCentralRy I don't think you're being picky or a Karen. I wondered why almost no one was wearing any type of mask while scraping or applying paint. Thought someone might be wearing coveralls or other "work clothing" while doing the work.
Date: 10/14/21 14:54 Re: Former Iowa Pacific Cars Get Face Lift at RBN Author: Lackawanna484 I dunno. People who are working with power sanders, sprayers, etc should be issued protective equipment.
People who are working on ladders or unsecured elevated areas should have protection. OSHA rules apply to volunteers as well as paid employers. While volunteers don't have Workers Comp, they do have lawyers...

I dont see anyone holding a sander or a sprayer, let alone using it. And the guy on the ladder...there is someone holding the ladder at the base. What do u want, a net below an 8 foot ladder? Date: 10/14/21 23:06 Re: Former Iowa Pacific Cars Get Face Lift at RBN Author: switchlamp I guess we need to follow homedepots lead where it takes 3 people with flags and closing off the aisle to get a can of paint off the top shelf

Lol Date: 10/15/21 07:37 Re: Former Iowa Pacific Cars Get Face Lift at RBN Author: Lackawanna484 I see an open, unsecured, elevated, door way and a worker adjacent to it.
