RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted December 26, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Christmas Eve 2015, 7.15pm. As people all over Germany gather with family and friends to open their presents, countless railway staff were still hard at work getting people (me included) to where they wanted to be. The driver of train RE 10133 from Aachen to Paderborn checks the doors before departing from a very quiet Dortmund Hbf.

Guest Nevadablue Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 What a neat thread! I just found it and want to thank everyone who had contributed to it. The people make the railroad run and I've always believed that the little people make the layout real. Thanks again for all the great images of the important part of the railroad.

stewartingram Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Alas no picture, but I witnessed something the other night almost the same as something I have joked about many times. And if you had told me about it I would have found it difficult to believe. I sometimes remark that down on the Underground, we have teams out at night polishing the tops of the rails, so they are nice and shiny for the commuters the next morning. Well, the other night I was tasked with a job between Earls Court and West Kensington (District line), to affix a couple of "tags" securely with coach bolts to the sleepers. (These tags cause the train radio to switch between adjacent cells on the radio network). Apparently during re-sleepering, they had been attached to the new concrete sleepers by plastic ties, I was to drill the sleepers, and using plastic plugs and coach bolts, fit them securely. Having met our Protection Master at West Kensington, he booked the road and we headed off towards Earls Court, unsure of the exact location of the tags. We found nothing on the surface section, so continued into the tunnel section. Rounding the bend, ahead of us we saw a track gang busy at work. We passed them, continuing onwards. Ahead, 2/3 more guys were busy, kneeling down at rail level. The infamous rail polishers? Nearly!......it seems the sleeper track in the tunnel was being replaced with concrete based track, with the chairs bolted to the base, and concrete ties about every 5th (original) sleeper. They had about 6 months work left to do according to the track gang. On the section that was done, these guys were cleaning up. They had what looked like large toothbrushes, with no more than a 1" diameter head, and were laboriously cleaning around every chair and under the total rail length until spotless! And they were thorough in their job. Stewart 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
