What happened to the lost art of engineers waving?

<p>I live right on UP's double track mainline in Iowa. Sometime they wave and sometimes they don't. I don't wave first as these guys are working and have a job to do and I don't want to be responsible for anything bad happening due to me distracting someone driving thousands of tons of fatal metal. They should not be worried about hurting feelings by not waving to people as they should be looking forward and doing their job.</p><p> But they have been know to scare the hell out of me. My property butts right to the tracks and they seem to love it when I'm mowing. They'll wait till they are right behind me then they lay on the horn. I come right out of my skin and usually kill the mower.</p><p>Now if you want to complain about a real problem how about the police. Shoot those guys get paid decent and by the taxpayers and they hardly ever wave. Even in this small town. Leave those guys working alone and let them do their jobs.</p><p> </p><p>Jeremy</p>
