Crazy, haven't even heard of that derailment. When you say million, you mean pounds, right?

By the way, 4511 isn't a proper runway designation. ;)

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

i didnt hear about any derailment either... sounds like a mess. take care out there man

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

I did some searching and found nothing on this. Is it all hush hush or what?

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

I figured he meant millions as in dollars lost & amount it is taking to clean up.

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

Dang thats a big mess, funny how it wasnt on the news at all. GL with the cleanup!

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

Maybe it only happened a day ago. Then again, news places are on these things fast. Maybe he's lying and typed that while on drugs.

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

No wonder you missed your appointment yesterday. I was wondering if you broke up w/ us :(

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

Sounds like fun, just give a call when you want to reschedule.

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

This is the iron range we're talking about. Carrier pigeons aren't fast.

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

Do you work for a company called Hulcher?

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

Sounds fun! Get any more vinyl on that baby?

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

Wow!! Yes, Hulcher is one of the Contractors, along with Rybak and of course BNSF "burlington northern rail road". My company has been subcontracted by Rybak and just got done building a 2 mile road in a swamp to get to the rail cars. It wasnt on the news cause it happened in a non populated area, 4 house's in 9 miles sort of thing. It is a hush thing though!! I did'nt know this, but when the rail-Road has a derailment, theirs no insurance for it, it's all out of pocket.

Guys at LSE I just rolled in today, be home for a week or two then I have to go back up to the Iron Range and rip the road out we just put in "JOB SECURITY".:woohoo1: Let me know when would be a good time.

Halon I got all hammered Memorial weekend, just to put it this way it took 45 min's to put all vinlys on it took 3.5 hours, 10 broken finger nails, 1 bottle for Goo-Be-Gone, and a shit load of waxing but you will be happy to hear I vinyl free, except 2 Mitsu-style and 2 Lse Performance stickers on tringle window, CLEAN & SEXY pics comming soon:score010: .

M-GUY I did not see GL companies out there.

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

I was up in Flood Wood MN last tuesday sitting in subway watching some rail cars go by being pulled by an international box truck. So I figured there was a derailment up there. I have a few good buddies that work out of Hulcher in Hudson WI. One operates a D9 cat with a boom on it. I just applied there a few weeks ago Still waiting to hear back. Starting wages for a laborer about 45k a year cant say thats to bad

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

lol...

I think he ment "Good Luck" (AKA: GL)


I'm interested in some pictures!

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

No more vinyl? Oh my god, we're going to have to come up with a new name for you now, crap.

Re: Been away for awhile.
 

HAhahahaha, I'm slow. But their is a Clean up company called GL Inds. located in Edina. Halon: Yes, yes the nickname Stickers will have to go!!! LOL.

Re: Been away for awhile.
