What is a hi rail operator?

Hi Rail Operators are professionals who operate vehicles equipped to travel both on roads and railway tracks, known as 'hi-rail' vehicles. These operators are responsible for inspecting, maintaining, and repairing railway lines and infrastructure. Their work ensures the safe and efficient functioning of rail systems, often requiring specialized training and adherence to strict safety protocols. Hi Rail Operators may also assist in laying new tracks or responding to emergencies on the rail network.
