platelayer
A platelayer (British English) or trackman (American English) is a railway employee whose job is to inspect and maintain the permanent way of a railway installation.〔Platelayer as a career, outlined on this contemporary (South African careers website ).〕
The term derives from the plates used to build plateways, an early form of railway.〔Fully explained (here ) by The Platelayers Society.〕
== Track inspection ==
Inspecting and maintaining the track, including all its component parts such as rails, sleepers, fishplates, bolts, etc., are the chief responsibility of the platelayer.〔See the historic (railway staff job guide ) of the British Government's National Archive.〕 His duties include greasing points, and generally watching for wear and tear.〔Historical information with photograph of platelayers, on the website of (Leicestershire County Council ), England.〕 When sections of track require complete replacement, larger teams of platelayers work together, and today employ a range of labour-saving machinery for many of the tasks traditionally undertaken by hand by platelayers.
