Running both trains today and we gotta get this broken joint bar fixed in
a hurry.
We'll show you how I replace this broken joint bar. It was a bit of a struggle
because of the big gap between the rails as you will see in the video. But
with some muscle persuasion the gap came together enough to
get all the bolts in.
Here is another video where we replaced a broken Compromise Joint Bar
that you may also enjoy. There is a difference between a regular joint bar
and a compromise joint bar, watch this to find out the difference:

A lot of young people will say "By golly, 73 and still cutting wood? Why don't you have someone else do it for you?" My grandfather worked every day of his life, and I had said something similar when I was young. He told me something like "Who else will do it, and what will I have to do in the meantime?" For men work gives us a purpose in life and we pride ourselves on being as self-sufficient as we can be. We have to feel useful and always do our part.

Mad respect to you Sir! I’m only 48, but my body has been destroyed due to a car accident in 1993 and work injuries in 2009 (same month and day - 04/03). I was able to continue working physical jobs until 2016, but eventually I had to get my ssdi. When I watch these kind of videos, it really makes me miss hard work…I miss work in general. It’s almost harder mentally than it is physically to no longer be able to work. I’m able to still do little things around the house, but I usually end up not stopping when I should and I pay for it for a few days. I’m not crying at all. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your daily adventures with us. Just subbed and now I’m gonna watch the rest of your videos.

Get a creative hobby! Learn to program, or paint, or machine model steam engines. Creative hobbies (especially ones that have useful results, like computer programming) can really fill in the gaps. I ride motorcycles sometimes so I like to plan for a possible future where I'm unable to walk. There's nothing I can do about how much I'll wish I can go back in time but at least I can ensure I have a way to keep on living (although I'm cheating by already being a programmer and avid gamer, so I spend most of my time sitting anyway lol).

@jasonbabila6006 Год назад
Dave, next time if you have to change out a joint bar by your self and have a difficult time lining up the bolt holes even with a drift pin, loosen up the joint at the other end of the rail just enough for the rail to move and close the gap a little , you may have to loosen the other joint at the other end of the other rail but it depends on how cold it is. When we had jointed mainline rails, we made sure the ties under the joint are tight under the rail, hanging ties beneath the joint is one of the causing factors with joint bars cracking, the NP was smart at putting a tie centered directly under the joint which helped keep the joint bars from cracking.
@ccrx6700
@ccrx6700 Год назад
Thanks Jason for the tip. Good advice. What I did not say or show was the next day after this, I did come up and tamp this joint, it did need some ballast under it to solidify it. Jointed track is a curse as you well know. Always is a delight to have you pay us a visit and write in my friend.

@Keith Stevens As I’m sure you are aware, when large railroads merge rail service is usually changed to benefit the railroad. For example, if L&N’s mainline is from say Louisville to Lexington to Cincinnati and C&O’s mainline is from Louisville to Cincinnati the company will choose the route that saves the most time and money. The other route will be abandoned or left to local carriers. Does this help?

A 5 gallon can of 1-3 gasoline/ diesel mix spread out on the rail flange for several rails and then lit works awesomely for bringing rails together. Also we had another name for those drift pins.

you are killing at 68! I learned this trade at 24 and the old heads were machines, so impressed. Had lots of injuries on our class 1 when glancing blows on a drift pin sent a shard of metal into someones arm or even eye. Always good to wrap duct tape around the and of the drift pin and keep the sharp mushroomed edges ground down. Nice video! Jointed rail makes life easy for changing bars! No fire snake needed!

Yes it is Christine. Do you know why it's called a fish plate? Well here is why. The area the joint bar rests against under neath the rail head and on the base is called the fishing. So naturally that is why they call them fish plates. Thank you so much for watching and writing in today my friend.

It's also great that some corporate BS "policy" doesn't prevent you from showing us these fantastic videos. Personally after watching a number of your videos I think this would be a dream job for many of us. Nobody's looking over your shoulder, and you get to breath some fresh air and see scenery like no one else can. I've only watched a handful of your videos but I really like them.

Since we only have minimal yard, most of our decent used rail does get sold to a RR contractor who will use it for yards or spurs or bridge guard rails. Only the absolute junk and Sperry rails are sold for scrap. Thanks for sharing James and for helping change out the joint bar, wish I had you to help me nip those ties up!
