## Caption

The stakes are high when operating massive track equipment. Union Pacific Machine Operator Juan Gonzalez learned this when he accidentally backed a tamper machine into a stationary vehicle, demolishing his supervisor’s hy-rail truck.

The Del Rio, Texas, craft professional reminds his fellow railroaders to always be aware of their surroundings and actions, regardless of routine: “You have to be aware for your co-workers around you – especially when you work on the same projects day to day.”

Hear Juan's full story on Union Pacific's YouTube channel.
