Looks like a great job. Press three buttons and stand around and bullshit for 10 minutes. Must be union workers

Well 6 minutes a car X 100 cars = 10 hours for one train, well that doesn't seem to modern to me!

@522549 115 tons of stone per car.35 tons car weight equals 150 tons per car, 14,500 tons for 100 cars.. Figure move time of 40 to 50 seconds per car,plus staging time . I think you see how time adds up..When I get some time I may show how slow swinging a sledge by two men opening the pockets rather than one man using a battery. I'm sure you wouldn't want to swing a sledge , open , close and lock pocket doors either. At the end of the stone season here these guys have arms like a Black Smith.
