[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16016349, member: 39344"] Never had any BART quotes but dont really expect to quote or bid a job that is across the country from us. We are mainly a general contractor in the DC/VA/MD area with an occasional job in NC/SC and as far north as NJ. I have heard that WMATA and BART share certain aspects of the track design, materials and car layout? I know when we finished installing the 500T press they just got the new Kawasaki 7000 series cars with the trick new a/c units on top. WMATA guys were raving about how easy it was to maintain the units versus the built in version on the older 1000 and up series cars. What does BART use? Some of the nicest guys ive ever had the pleasure of working with even as an outsider. Always on time, stayed till the job was done and worked in some of the most demanding conditions ive ever seen. I couldnt imagine swinging the sledge to knock in rail spikes for 8+ hours a day. Machine or handwork? Both are brutal but those guys doing the handwork are carved from another cloth. They drink harder than sailors yet get up every day at the ass crack of dawn to knock rail spikes into plates for 8 hours or more in 100+ degree heat. Still baffled that no one died of dehydration.
