  • I'm a trackworker too, thank you for this video the work is dangerous I should have took the job with correction instead of track. I breath in all the steel dust and bad dirty air and have deal with working under train traffic. I rather deal with the crimnals then take this slow death. The majority of trackworkers when they retire dont even live five years.

  • @moegrimm

    I feel what you're saying.

  • My husband is a trackworker too. And everyone out there who think he know all better should work a week in every job of transit and than we will talk again. Good job!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheChickenlizard

    Thank you.

  • My husband works for NYC MTA doin this very job. Its very hard work and these men put their lives on the line everyday or night they clock in. Its a very dangerous job.

  • @MissATL2MrsNYC Thank you.

  • Love the cadence of the Forman that rail is 100 lb.. per foot OF IRON the power of team work . Maintenance Of Way (M.O.W) TRACK GANG(s) THE BACK BONE OF THE MTA Subway.

  • my hubby too and he's in this video.......:)

  • @moegrimm key word "majority". It depends on your lifestyle also, heavy drinker, smoker

    as well as your heredity. I am not trying to downplay the danger. You need to score very high

    on the exam to get a chance. These type of lists are big. The current list expires on 2013

    and they barely cracked the #1,000 mark.

  • doing track work's the most interesting job in my opinion.. i work in the mw dept. for norfolk southern railroad.

  • dont need the stupid music

  • Trackworker for 4 years, great job.

  • My second comment...I worked for Maryland MTA track department for light rail...miss it....
