Rail Infrastructure & Permanent Way Maintainer
Glasgow, United Kingdom
Working on the railway was fantastic. It can be hard work, you can be hot, cold, really wet and in Scotland frozen, sometimes all in the same day but it still gets done. Involved in stressing, renewals, wet bed repairs, stick (Sleeper) replacement, tamping and general permanant way and rail corridor maintenance.Operating Cembre pandrol & fastclip remover, rail saws, Cobra's, rail drills and other small plant.Railway workers are a different breed and it was great to be working with a bunch of guys who have a great attitude to work and the cameraderie that exists there.If you love working outside in all type of weather, enjoy the sleep in the transport home because your totally worn out, like to laugh a lot while your working. You cannot get better than this..... unless your in the military!!!
