AMTRAK Fracture Critical Inspections

This morning I found out that we will begin our fracture critical inspections of several bridge which intersect AMTRAK. Last March I has my AMTRAK rail road safety training down in Providence which prepares consultants for working in the AMTRAK right of way safely. Unfortunately these inspections will be taking place late at night in the dead of winter. One thing that is always present at an AMTRAK inspection is waiting. Waiting for the safety briefing. Waiting for access to the tracks. Waiting for the power to be turned off and lines to be grounded. Hurry up and wait.
