Bob, have you assigned a crew to the new track cleaning car? These guys could be training.

I'm currently accepting resumes Jay. I've had lot's of interest in the positions.

Here's some more of the hard working folks on my layout.

Oh- and then there's these interlopers

The M.O.W. crew never gets a day off.  And always in the worst possible place…

Departed work on the holiday weekend and decided to go camping near Denver, these Rail Fans anticipate seeing UP Big Boy No. 4014 and an uninvited guest wanders into their campsite! (Sound On)

Have a great and safe weekend, folks.......8:45 PM.....heading for layout take  down at the Chesterfield County Fair.

Typical......10 guys standing around watching one guy work.

That reminds me of this great scene from the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt TV show.

Shout out to steel workers.  P&BR, Patapsco and Back Rivers ( a Bethlehem Steel owned RR )  V01000 pushes a hot metal car.

The new subway cars just arrived and the shop, union, and security guys are planning the day's moves:

Good morning this fine Labor Day. I always do my job, popping out of my little shed, without fail when the train rolls by:

After all these years, will you please give me a raise?

You are correct Arnold, and I think he needs legal representation; he works 24/7.

Hey, what about me? I need a raise too.     And what about a pension?

This is becoming a serious situation on Arnold's Fields of Deeams Along the Put.

Stay tuned.

A crew gets ready to launch an unmarked helicopter to look for aliens from Area 51. No holiday for these guys.

OMG, I found out about they're talkin' about going on strike.

That would bankrupt Arnold's Fields of Dreams Along The Put:

Who the heck is this guy?

I think he's a troublemaker who'd stirring up talk about going on strike.

I may have to play hardball with him?

Makin' money at the ball park: "Scorecards here, get your score cards here."

My Grandfather once told me "Cutting firewood heats you twice; once when you cut it, once when you burn it."  I can't say how many times I have cut firewood on Labor Day, but we have had our share of late-summer storms to provide the wood.

The San Francisco Chief sounds a friendly "toot" as she slows to pass tireless railway workers preparing the company speeder for an inspection of the division...
