ElInDa InGRaM Customer service attendant To work as a Customer Service Attendant you need a particular type of personality. You have to be able to get along with a wide range of people. I have six brothers and five sisters! I grew up in Condobolin and Sydney. I joined RailCorp in 199 . In my job I also make train arrival and departure announcements and flag trains for Right of Way. I like to help other Aboriginal staff and I do this through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Network. We provide advice to RailCorp on ways to improve support services for ATSI staff. We organise events for National Aborigines Week and other activities. In future, I want to continue working with ATSI focusing on employment and strengthening career opportunities for Aboriginal people.

DIanE RussEll Principal Maintenance Planning Manager I started with RailCorp twenty years ago as a Cadet Mechanical Engineer. I’ve recently taken over as Mechanical Systems Engineer for Diesel Systems. One of my most challenging assignments was about a year after we introduced the XPLORER/Endeavour railcars when their axle bearings started to fail. I had earlier completed my thesis on XPT trailer car axle bearings, monitoring them for defects using vibration analysis, and they were very similar in design. So I applied what I had learnt from that experience, and used vibration analysis to investigate the axle bearing failures on the XPLORER and Endeavour cars. It was very satisfying to go through (right from taking acceleration readings from the bearing, analysing that output and inspecting the bearing) and actually seeing the defect that I had pinpointed using the vibration analysis. I determined that there was water ingress into the bearings. I informed the manufacturer as the trains were under warranty; they accepted that, and then went ahead with a design change. Failure of one of those bearings could end up being a serious incident, so knowing that you’ve prevented something like that is very rewarding. Diane Russell was recently promoted as Principal Maintenance Planning Manager. IT was VERy saTIsFyInG To Go THRouGH anD aCTually sEEInG THE DEFECT THaT I HaD PInPoInTED usInG THE VIbRaTIon analysIs.
