Graingy PSA: Stop Stealing our Rails.

41.5k Graingy  8 months ago

Some mf, couldn’t tell you who, keeps stealing sections of track from the old Vancouver-Yukon rail line we operated back in the 1940s and 50s. We scarcely use it anymore, largely since the old headquarters is basically just ruins by now, but it’s still Graingy property on Graingy land.

When we find you, you are dead.

    @Boeing727200F The standard was for two-way service. Normal stuff, the like. The 2m gauge was for larger, heavier loads. Stuff you can't fit on a standard gauge line. It was for large-piece shipments only (unless schedule otherwise clear), so could afford to only have one track. We wanted closer to 3m, but again, funding. That was many decades ago, of course. The next headquarters got better infrastructure as we had greater funds when constructing it.
    The original Yukon HQ still has some large storage vaults, but is otherwise a rotting ghost town (see end scene of TCsoSBKwsiton) The 2m gauge rail is maintained for access in case something heavy needs to be removed. It is problematic when sabotaged as it necessitates repair, if only for the rare cases it's used.

    @Boeing727200F Two standard, one broad (2m). 2m wasn't considered ideal, but budgetary constraints forced our hand.
    We are and aircraft company, after all, so if it was really an issue we could probably just fly it.
    Still happening, unfortunately.

    @ComradeSandman idk, maybe it's this guy who did it, i remember seeing what looked like a bunch of rusty rails on his lawn until he decided to haul those rusty rails to... somewhere on his dump truck, which im pretty sure is stolen because of the fact that i could've sworn I've seen it on a news channel a few months ago talking about a stolen dump truck in ontario canada, don't know where he's going but i feel like it's probably a local smelting yard or smth.
