Album Info:A nice sunny winter day here in the Northland. And so we find the section crew at Bangor West welding under traffic! The question probably went something like, "Dispatcher, how much time do we have ahead of Amtk 8?!"

Description:  After a BNSF coal empties went west passed our house at Bangor East commonly called Rockland, and while leaving another westbound in the Bangor siding behind them, the welders came out to work at Bangor West ahead of Amtk 8.

In the face of Amtk 8
Title:  In the face of Amtk 8
Description:  Some welding needed to be done as the lookout keeps a sharp eye for safety and an ear to the radio waiting to hear "the Empire Builder" to go by the detector a couple of miles to the west! And they also knew that the dispatcher would be listening to that same radio, and Amtrak had better not get needlessly delayed. That is if they wished to get back out on the rail anytime soon!
