Turned In My Truck Today...

Does this mean you'll be doing things like oil changes and filter changes to the locomotives? There are trucking jobs like that for excavation work. They need CDL drivers that can also perform maintenance on equipment in the field.

We wish you the best Big Scott! Hopefully this gig will help with your needs at home.

Thank you.

In addition to fuel, we add sand and water. We also empty toilets. I think we also change breaks. I will be updating as I go.

Best of success man!

Congratulations Big Scott! I hope you enjoy your new job.

What are the sand and water used for? Do they go in the locomotives?

Welcome to the home daily side

9/16/23 I had to wait some minutes for this train to finish picking up rail cars and move out so I could get to my dock door. This at General Mills in Cedar Rapids, IA.

Scott hasn't answered so I will. I and some college friends hung out around the trains parked near our college apartments many years ago.

Sand is used for traction under the wheels of an engine when it starts out from a dead stop. Things may have changed since over 40 years ago but I imagine the simple design still continues, they just trick out sand in front of the wheels. I imagine the water is used for flushing their toilet (maybe drinking also?). The toilet is in the nose of the engine, I believe.

The sand trickles out trough tubes in front of the wheels to help with traction. The water goes with coolant. We also add oil when needed.

The toilets are filled with 4 gallons of blue stuff. We don't change oil, just add as needed. They drink bottled water on the trains. We are only dealing with locomotives.
