SP PFE wreck cleanup
Title:  SP PFE wreck cleanup
Description:  EB at Truckee.Wreck cleanup of PFE train. I worked for 6 hours as a "lumper" on a crew unloading a carload of butter. Don't remember the pay, but sucks to work on a reefer on it's side with a jumbled load inside. We had a human chain that swapped ends every half hour. There was only one conveyor on the wreck site and we didn't have it for our car.
