for those who want to see some track work for the Maine Downeaster go to this web site and click on the video. You will have to wait thru about 6 minutes of political talk then the last 6 minutes has some basic track and signal work.

Thanks for sharing the video here, it is one of the better, and clearer ones I’ve seen of maintenance activities. I guess with this age we live in; one has to expect a certain amount of political bloviating, and politicians getting their ‘face time’.

I am hesitant to say much more about that topic, some folks seem to be hyper- sensitive to that line of talk.

I am reminded of the story about the Afghan, burka wearing woman, who when reminded by a Western Newsreporter-type of her newly won independence, and freedom: Was asked why she still walked a couple of yards behind her husband? Her response was, simply, “Mines”! [oops]

Checked out the track work video. Fast forwarded thru the “talk” part and enjoyed the interesting re railing and associated work along with it…
