Is there any way of tagging along with a crew that inspects railroad tracks (for defects)? If I call Metro-North, NJ Transit, the LIRR, Norfolk Southern or CSX, or a Northeastern shortline, will they let me just go along with a crew that inspects tracks, such as by driving along the tracks in a pickup? Even for an hour or two?
I am now working on a project that involves track inspection. I'm not looking for any secrets from railroads or any benefit from them; I'm just curious how track inspection works.
Any tips/leads would be appreciated.
Thanks.
