Conversation seen on Phasebook: just had that conversation. Snow was bad. Then came Ward. He kept putting a-holes in charge. Brown. Ingram. Sanborn. Then EHH showed up and blew this place up. Boycock was an absolute asshole. No one out there seems to realize just how messed up these railroads are because of EHH and his clan.

former Harrison/Foote PSR disciple. Crashed an oil train into a river, took Tyler Hardins designs and never paid him, looks like a child standing next to normal people, the list goes on..

Did he really do something bad with an oil train????

From memory, after taking over British Columbia RR, which required dynamic brakes, Boyphukkr instructed the crew to use CN locomotives (bought) with no dynamic brakes in heavy grade territory. (I'm not sure this is the one, but there were two fatalities) It's addressed in Section 2.5 of the report. Shame on the employees for not giving management the opportunity tu address this schitt after the TSB approved Cunter's wet dream!

The original CN in Canada boasted/bragged that the stiffest grade on the transcon was 1% or less. Same for GTW and DWP
as CN really dint have the need for dynamic brakes on their loco fleet. Time marches on and CN acquires Illinois Central which
dint order dynamic braking on its locomotive fleet because the railroad is flat as a pancake. The British Columbia Railway (BCR)
needed locomotives with dynamic braking because of several locations with 2.2% grades. The DMIR and Proctor Hill leaving Daloot
or coming down to Daloot. Think the big GE's solved all those problems.

As the story was told to me.....Boom-Boom was running a loco in the CN Prince George yard and run into a cut of crude oil cars, hilarity and calamity ensued along with flames and lots of them. He also allegedly prevented the local fire hall from entering the yard for 45min as apparently it was "private matter on private railway property", the RCMP had to get involved. (The Running Trades website and forums had a whole thread and story dedicated to this, not sure if the site is still running)
There are whole volumes of Boom-Boom stories, he was canned from CN for using a company credit card for personal purchases on a special friend when he was married, he was involved in the Checkamus river derailment where the CN dumped 3 or 4 tanks of caustic soda into a river during salmon spawning season.

I think LAMCo is done with the neo-nazi CSX rejects, but we sure do have alot of ex-CSX employees here.

Yeah, that didn't age well. But I wouldn't say Ancora is the same as Lamco. They seem to be out of the loop, judging by their comments. There's no one left to furlough, and no assets left to sell off.
