We have the same signs at various gathering points in the very large industrial facility where I work. If there's a release of toxic gas, everyone is to observe wind socks and choose an appropriate upwind site to gather at. Once gathered, names are immediately checked against a roster. A search is quickly conducted for anyone on the list who's not in attendance. Quite the big deal, but drills are conducted and it does make some sense if there's a man down somewhere. But conducting such in a plant with 600+ people on any shift is quite a challenge. During drills, there's always a lot of standing around so after reporting I usually wander down to the mainline to see what I can see. Caught this two years ago :
I have Burlington and BN orders from Teague, but nothing B-RI. For some reason I was thinking this was a FW&D town? Do you have a photo of Tomball? I have a B-RI order copied there, but have never seen a view of that building.
The tracks are right beyond the fence behind the caboose and depot. This shot was taken while standing on the platform deck behind the depot.
I saw this sign while out biking. I wonder if this is where crews can snooze while waiting to go through Minneapolis Junction.
Except for foamers with bloated egos, (self-anointed royalty), who believe they should be able to go anywhere they wish and screw it up for everyone else.
That's beautiful, Keith. A snapshot in time, of a time when attention to detail was important - like clean linen on the tables, nicely set and aligned tableware, and a nice little vase with flowers at every table. That young lady in the green dress, on the left, seems to need some companionship. I'll bite the bullet and volunteer...
