to all.. here the video clips from the second part of my rail fanning day. the battery in my camera was going low so these clips are cut short. it seems like all the are doing is going back & forth but there are several moves going on. we were not allowed on "Cal gases" property so i couldn't' get the spotting of the cars in the complex.
by the end of the day the crew moved more than 100 cars
enjoy the vid

to every one..this is a short slide show of what i have been up to in the past 2 weeks. i have started this section about 7 months ago & i am finally getting to it.
Smith Pipe & Steel was one on BNSF's biggest customers up to about 3-4 years ago.when i went down to this industry, i asked the ladies at the front desk, why don't they have rail service anymore. they weren't' quit sure who made the decision , but it was ruled that, rail service crossing n.19 ave at this location was dangerous. ???????. they also told me that it cost alot more to ship & receive by truck. i have decided to go back a few years and give them back their rail service
enjoy the slide show & as always comment & questions are welcome
