Does This Count?
can track department operations count as "Rail Photography"?
Because I Take Pics From Work All The Time
Here Are A Few Of My Favorites
VE 502
As The Sun Rises Early In The Morning The Crew At The WRM Quicly Got 502, Our Two Ballast Hoppers, And Our Old Rickety Caboose All In Train, Then We Met For A Safety Meeting And Took Off Down The Line
Once Down By Gum Grove We Were Loading Ballast And I Snapped This Photo Of 502
A Better Pic Of 502 With A Close Friend Of Mine's Dad Who Is Into Trainz, I Will Not Give His Name, Standing On 502
His Family Also Took Some Pics And Tweaked Them Into Photo Negative, It Looked Prittey Cool
Standing Behind The Consist We See Joel Loading The Hoppers With His Loader
The Loader Is Just Barly Able To Reach The Top Of The Second Hopper
It Requires Him To Use A Ramp And Alot Of Skill When It Comes To Operations Of Equiptment
Sitting About 4 Trolly Poles Away From 502 We See Her Sitting On The Bridge At Gum Grove While Our Boss, Joel, Removed Some Pesky Tree Branches That Got In The Way Of The Mainline
On Another Date Prevous To This
We See The Gang Reparing And/Or Replacing Old Or Broken Joint Bars And Bolts
We Get A Closer View Of Pete(Orange T-Shirt), Joel[My Boss](Blue Coveralls), And One Of My Two Favorites, Bob(Behind Joel)
Here We See Joel Talking To The Gang, What He Was Saying I Dont Remember, But If It Were Important I Would
We Get To See A Better Pic Of BOB(Left), Joel(Middle), Pete(Right Corner)
We Can Just Barly See The Back Of My Other Favorite Person On The Track Department, Jerry(Top Right)
Here Is A Pic Of My Baby, The Napa Valley Wine Train High Rail Truck
I Stumbled Down The Ballast To Take This Pic And It Turned Out Great
Here Is One More Pic Of The High Rail Truck
Here We See Jerry Standing Next To The Truck Sipping Some Water On A Hot Agust Day
This Picture Is Special To Me Because It Is From My First Adventure On The Track Department
Here Is The Basic Back Story To That Adventure;
I Had Started Out In The Shops And I Never Did Like It
And That Day My Friend Did'nt Show Up But His Dad Did, And I Felt Kinda Weird Working Alone, Without Him
I Was Outside Scraping Some Copper Pipes For The Insides Of SN 652, And Joel Walks In With Jerry And Pete To Show Them Joel's Tamper
As Joel Made His Way Out I Asked Him If I Could Join The Track Department Because I Did'nt Really Enjoy Working In The Shops, He Simply Said, "Yea Sure, We Can Always Use An Extra Hand. Get Your Stuff And Hop In The Highrail"
I Grabbed The Pipes And Took Them Back Into 652, And I Ran Out And Hopped In, We Went North On The Mainline To Go Replace Broken Or Worn Joint Bars And Joint Bolts
And I Went That Day Without Lunch
My Parrents Were Gonna Bring Cupcakes And My Lunch To Lunch Time For My Birthday, But The Track Department Does Not Come Back For Lunch, So I |Went That Day Without Lunch, And Learned, Never Forget To Take Your Lunchbox, No Matter What.
Though I Didnt Eat That Day It Was A Day I Will Never Ever Forget
Jerry And I Came Back In The Truck Half Way Through The Day Because He Had To Use The Restroom, And I Got To Drive The Truck Safely Back To Where We left Joel And Pete, I Drove Home Aswell And Boss Man Said I Did Good
Here Is The Funny Part
After About 4-5 Meets For The Track Department And Me Driving That Truck, They Give Me The Manual How To Drive It
XD
Next Work Meet Is Next Weekend And I Will Be Posting Pics Of Work Next Weekend, If You Actully Read All This
Thankyou
Note All These Pics That Are Shown Above Were ALL Taken With My Phone
No Camera Involved
