A question for all the railroad men.

I used to work with a brakeman who used to 'bo in his youth. He'd ride til he needed some cash, then would hire out as a soda jerk for a while. Then it was off again. He'd hung around the railroad so much that when it was time to take root, he came to the RR. Of course, that was in a different country; different time. I wouldn't try that today. If they come at you, you're all alone in the middle of no where. BTW, he was a first-rate railroader [he did have the disconcerting habit of talking to the freight cars, "Well now, how did YOU get in this track?"]. Been retired for years and died in the late 80's.
