The most important thing that school does for you is get you aquainted with the rules. Many of my training conductors have told me that going by the rules can make you more money because going by the "book" often takes more time. There are a few conductors in my terminal that have implemented the use of rules into their job and have turned into a science. They usually end up getting overtime every time they work because they do everything by the book. However, you have to be careful because if you slow up your train too much you start getting managment looking at you, and that leads to trouble. But, just like everything else in life, moderation is the key. Don't take advantage of a good thing because it can come back to haunt you. Anywho, I have one more month of training, then I'll be marked up taking trains into the railroad maze of chicago. I know I'll be nervous on my first train up because I'll actually have to do it all myself, but you can usually rely on your engineer for help, so be good to your engineer!!!
