Let me start out by saying that I've been a loco engineer for 25yrs.Currently I'm in a long intra-divisional frt.pool for a western RR.While growing up I always dreamed of becoming a engineer and today I'm living the reality of that dream.I still enjoy my job most of the time but it has its drawbacks.Long hrs away from home,working 24/7 night and day,bad weather and good,dealing with the college educated idiots who have no RR experience and call the shots,unrealistic pay for what we are reponsible for and are required to know and do.A UPS delivery driver makes a higher hourly wage than a yard engineer!I am one of many who don't look down at rail fans.Just try to remember we, who work on the RR have to live with railroading while on and off the job.While at home waiting for that call for a train on the line-up that was due 12hrs ago and still hasn't been called.So when you have a bad experience with a railroader it might be because he or she has had a long hard day or night.We are human to and sometimes we have a hard time understanding why others see the galmore of railroading.I do apologize if I have offended any of you in the past and will do my best to remember that rail buffs are human too.
