Train wreckers? any Hulcher, RJ Coreman, Cranemaster.....

I guess they figured he planned that the train be hit by the tornado - - - Unless he was supposed to be watching the weather and didn't regard the weather report as a tornado threat

I remember we had a few LP BLVEs up in Canada. I think Chip and Norm smith were their. I know Norm has pics of it. I was still green and all I remember was chasing down the end of a tank car like 3 miles in the woods. they said the thing took off like a rocket all the trees were broke about 6ft and for 3miles in a straight line. And another time we had 40 LPG cars in potterville mi that rolled off their trucks perfectly. Lonnie was able to get some major power transmission lines shut down and their was one leaking Chip walked up to that dam thing and plugged it with a wet rag. he called it a "ice bomb" LOL good times good times

Some real good photos and video on this thread. I wish the technology was this good back in 1998-2000 when i worked for Hulcher - I would have used the ol' camera phone and digital camera to get some memories.



Have any of you guys ever had to work with Terry Jones or Dave Dick? I know Dave Dick had left Hulcher over 5 years ago, but he was the senior DM for Gettysburg, Washington, Barboursville, and maybe Toledo? He left and worked for TERRA He worked there for a while and then helped Cranemasters open up their Taneytown, MD location. He left Cranemasters, but not by choice . Terry Jones is still with Hulcher, but I think he is one of there "BIG DOGS" on the east coast. Maybe he is even in charge of all the divisions on this side of the Mississippi? Terry has a brother Larry at the Washington Divison - I believe Larry is the head hauncho in Washington. I worked a good bit with the Washinton divison on the bigger wrecks.



I am glad to see I am not the only 1 to notice that Safety really went to the outhouse at Hulcher.

Dave Dick was our sr. when I started then he went to terra. Terry jones is around I think he is a SR again, pretty much has dave dicks area. Blew eyes is just the DM of wasington. and barboursville is no longer. Their have been a lot of premotions and de motions. at one poing bubba's fat ****ing *** had nothing to do with toledo then he got us back and **** went back to hell. Terry was a director for a bit. Larry (blew eyes) was the Sr and trer miller is back in gettysburg he was a SR as well but is just now the DM wade is treeys go to guy. Hoak and boy work for cranmasters and Mitchel is a ADM lennard had a few heartattks and is gone, Tuhy works for the NS. pretty much out of all the old timers in Gburg that is left is mitchel,wade,terry,and terry. that it all new laborers and operators

Trainwrecker22 you seem to know the Gettysburg crew pretty good. I like the blew eye comment about Larry. I took over Leonard's position for a month until I realized it wasn't the Hulcher I used to work for. I did 2 transfer jobs - 1 with the 325 and 1 with those conveyors. I don't know if they have a full-time hoe operator at Gettysburg anymore. I also filled in for a 977 operator on a derailment in Baltimore (that went smooth). The Transfer jobs just plain sucked. All the guys you mentioned were a great bunch to work with. George Miller was a great operator/manager to work with (smoothest operator on a boom that I saw)- you might have met him before. He is still at Terra.

I heard Boy was interested in coming back to Hulcher and that Terry Jones wanted him back, but Bubba was not gonna let it happen. Congrats on the possible "knock up"

I heard a few stories of what goes on up in Canada when they put the temporary division up there. Hulcher is somewhat safe - I heard they denied an operator the trip up due to him having an STD.

If you talk to Wade let him know "Pokeman" said hello- For some reason Dave Dick gave me that nickname. I should get out to see those guys more often.
