If i am thinking of the video you are talking about, those campcars have yet to be updated. They are still at 8 person/car while these are at 4

I Work on this gang which is R-3 Dual Rail Gang, the one and only dual. The Guy with the thick glasses is hilarious we call him Ozark

[tnhl77]

@bs30gman why Ozark?

I love how you can see some of the history of NS in the background of this video. For example, the Southern Railway 89' double-door autoparts boxcar at 2:50, and the Conrail locomotive (GP-something?) at 3:00.

NS is a pretty neat company!

Because Camp Cars are for people, one would think that they are rebuilt or replaced every 10 years, just like the Auto Racks, and auto racks only carry fragile merchandise.

The camp cars are in Elmira, Ny right now.

Hey, these camp cars are in Bristol Tennessee right now!!!!!!!!!!!

[rescueagreyhound]

Was this in response to the Teamsters video wanting to abolish the camp car? Those cars in that video were in pretty poor condition.

Great to see my company stand up for itself against a horribly biased video from another "source"

[jordan1210]

wow those are nice

Hmmm... can't decide, I have seen and talked to someone from a rail gang and (they) have never complained. Guess it is something (they) have to get used to. Camp cars ARE filthy... this is what they SHOULD look like but NS is WAY TOO CHEAP (concerned about making money and not about employees well-being) to even care about making a move. Support the MofW brothers and sisters.

[o00o00ozy]

Wow... cleaner than some I have seen. This is good. Looks like NS cleaned up there act. When they had the camp cars back in the early decade they were SO filthy. This video better not be BSing. But in about a year they are probably going off track from the rumours I hear.

That's pretty slick! Hey, if you have to be away from civilization, you might as well sleep comfortably!

[FlyBikes089]

Great the video, MAN! So I already "save to favorite"!

Camp cars provide safe, healthy, logistically convenient and dependable lodging for Norfolk Southern employees.

NS operates in many isolated locations where motels and restaurants are not easily accessible to work areas. In these areas, camp cars are the best and, in some cases, the only practical alternative. With camp cars readily available at the end of a workday, employees don't have to venture long distances in unfamiliar environments to seek lodging and dining facilities.
