Re: weird stuff you kind on the tracks

 

I once saw a hobo take a shit while standing up from the other side of a box car. Thats the strangest thing I saw on the tracks. I remember thinking then this might be the most fucked up shit I haveseen in that yard. The best part was. He never put his beer down and didnt wipe.

 

Seccond most fucked up thing was a sawa group of hobo's sitting around a fire shotting up smack. This one big ass motha fucka got all pissed off that I was walking by and started yelling at me. I told him to go fuck and he started screeming. BRING IT over and over again. Now im no pussy but im not scraping with a what appaired to be a 6 foot plus fat dopper hobo. Picked up a big peice os steal pipe from the ground and walked away faceing them. As the fat one kept yelling.

If you return that EOT aka (F.RE.D) to the yard office you could basically get a free pass to ask any questions you have about your yard....Those things run around 4g's they tell us..It would be a good way to get yer foot in the door and ask questions...Just pretend youre a concerned foamer......

Re: weird stuff you kind on the tracks

 

in connecticut yesterday evening painting freights. there were these large propane tank looking things next to a section of unused tracks that had some weeds and bushes growing out of it. They were rusted out and I wanted to paint a container next to them. I walked towards it and started hearing a hissing noise, a took a step closer and smelled this scent i cant describe but it took my breath away and i needed to run backwards to catch some fresh air. I have no idea what was in those tanks but it scared the shit out of me.

Holy fuck, four grand, i think it would be a good idea to return it, i just don't really know how i would go about it. Just say i was walking along the tracks and found it, idk though. Thats kinda like admiting i was trespassing. i kinda have a feeling they would just be like thanks for returning it and send me off, they might even think i stole it. Maybe i could bring my camera and act like a railfan/photographer. Any more advice?

These tanks (If near a power operated switch point) are filled with flamable gas...Usually propane..During snow and cold winter months, these tanks will ignite small heat sources near the power operated switch points to keep switches lined tight and with no snow or ice packed in between..Thats crazy you mentioned this because I was on dead tracks about 2 weeks ago a noticed a few tanks that were atleast 50-60 years old and we all commented on their age and status of decay, rusting through damn near...And I'm sure they were never emptied when the line was shut down....
