Not sure what this means. I was training guys in Competent Tower Climber/Rescuer to NATE standards. I'm a tower guy, not a train guy


So you were training BNSF signal department guys?

I was trying to figure out what you meant with height training or if it was a typo. Thought maybe you worked with the B&B (bridge and building) guys but S&C makes sense as well since they do the radio towers and such.

Your comment about all the guys being big didn't match up with my experience in train service. But like I said, the maintenance guys are generally on the larger side for the most part.

Honestly I wish I could answer this better. I'm not familiar with what I'm guessing is railroad speak
I was a trainer to the NATE standard for Comp Climber and Rescuer. Still am. I taught 10-15 classes for BNSF in KC. These would be guys working with cell antennas, microwave hops, bucket truck ops, etc. I'm just a moron that tries to teach guys how to go up and down tall structures and come back home safe every day
