I have just recently applied to the HESR through RA's website to work as a conductor. They are hiring 2 out of Bay City. If anyone works for HESR, could you please PM me, I have a few questions.
Thanks
Matt

Boy, that would really put a crimp in the women's lib movement. Picture a 110 lb. female carrying a knuckle and wrench back 40 car lengths on a bridge.GTW6401 wrote:Unless your already certified as an engineer I doubt youll get in.

Drop off the knuckle, pull up to it and fix it. If the knuckle requiring replacement is on the car you left behind, put the knuckle on the rear of the last car, and shove back to it.
Again, anyone carrying a knuckle that far is a moron. All you have to do is lift it from the ground to waist height. Lift with your legs not your back, yadda yadda yadda. Its not hard to get it to waist height, the hard part is getting it to go into the drawhead.

Re: Anyone work for HESR?
You would be lucky to get it 5 car lengths walking on the side of the ballast; like CSX said, I would wonder about your mental state if you wanted to carry one of those at any distance...
I sometimes wonder if this was some sort of test by the rr to see if you are smart enough to figure out how to move the knuckle without carrying it
