AROUND THE SHOP PT2

More around the Hillsdale Yard...

A new sign has been added to the shop lead track; a blue flag sign. It reads: DANGER MEN WORKING.

Here, the sign is raised, though there are no cars in the shop! Blue flags are used to protect men while they are working, either on equipment or the tracks themselves. Similar to 'Lock-Out' tags on electrical equipment, once they are placed -or raised- only the person who placed it can remove it.

Heavy equipment is lined up in preparation for the application and spreading of gravel.

A truck driver prepares to drive off after discovering he was at the wrong job site!

At the other end of the yard, the office now has a pair of vending machines inside.

Outside, next to the propane tank, is the new a/c unit -much better than the old window unit!
