Welding Bench

Back To Previous Slide / Up To Index / Forward To Next Slide

Here is a close-up of that same bench. Students have to perform the welds on the pipes while the pipes are fastened to the wall. The students are not allowed to remove the pipes from the wall while they work on them. In real life, a worker usually does not have the option to remove a ruptured pipe from the train to repair it. The ruptured pipe has to be repaired right in place on the train without moving the pipe.
