Rail Technicians VS field trained Track Worker

It has been our experience that, a field trained track worker can change or fix ties or a piece of rail for 20 years and may never know why he changes the particular tie or rail he does. The field trained track worker changes or fixes the track based on what a formal trained Rail Technician has told worker to fix. 

 

A formal trained Rail Technician with no field railroad experience can be trained in less then 100 hours and can be the one telling a field trained track worker with 20 years experience what ties and rail needs changed or fixed.

Technicians may be found working in a variety of fields, and they usually have a job title with the designation 'technician' following the particular category of work. Thus a 'stage technician' is a worker who provides technical support for putting on a play, while a 'medical technician' is an employee who provides technical support in the medical industry or to the medical profession.
