Rigid Pipe Install Photos-Metro North Railroad

Hello everyone! 

I wanted to share some photos I found from around 2003. I worked on the railroad for Metro North. We were involved in replacing the electrical equipment for platforms at many train stations that took commuters into New York City for work and pleasure. 

I will write about those experiences in my next book. I worked on the railroad pregnant too...interesting stories. I will talk to you all later! 

Cheers!

Another Chapter Clip From Construction Tales

Construction Tales: Volume I: A Woman's Journey to Become  An Electrician A Story From The Construction Tales Series! Hello everyone!  Here is a short chapter clip from the book series known as Construction Tales: Construction Tales short story- We were doing boring things in a small shop I worked for during my 5th year of my apprenticeship.

I am sharing a short story from a fellow Local #3 IBEW sister! A story from me........In 1982, while I was an apprentice in LU #3, NYC electrical union, we were outside Grand Central Station eating lunch. A few of the guys were giving compliments to some of the women walking by. Nothing nasty, but hey, you are very pretty....things like that. So I told the guys that when I saw a man I thought worthy of my attention, I would say something. 10 minutes later I finally saw a man and I said, hey, I think you are nice looking and would love to talk to you. Well, this man turned around, walked ov...
