I worked in the yard for about 10 days before being moved to the new place in Joliet for UP. That toyota that come into view at 0:45 was probably the driver manager. Joliet is sooooooo much nicer, i know it a new place, but Bedford Park was blacktop with some cement. CP G4 is ALL cement with 8000' track, 4 of them. More and more tho, it seems railroads are going to there own people to run these yards. You wont have Parsec or PacRail or ISA anymore. Still Union, just not an outside Contract.
@bnsfMAN93 That's awesome, I highly recommend a career in the Railroad. The demand is extremely high right now for Civil Engineers in the industry. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
I know you're a young still, and live in Ann Arbor, but if you want to go into Railroading the best college choice is Michigan Tech. We have a Railroad Engineering Certificate program (in conjunction with a Civil Eng degree), and all railroads recruit heavily from the school.
@bnsfMAN93 When I took this video, we actually were on a tour for a railroad engineering course at Michigan Tech. Since then I have graduated and work for the railroad. Not CSX though.
I'm a ISW-Lift Operator at CSX Hulsey. Ben doing this stuff for 15 yrs. I think this is one of the MI-Jack 1000RCDS machines that I used to run before they got downsized and sent to Chicago. Thanks for posting this.
