[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ironken I still say buy American Wabash. I drive a Ford and ride a Harley......As far as the, "college boy," thing goes. It is only gonna get worse. We have a new batch of new hire trainmasters running around that have never turned a wheel and are running this rr (or so they think). Never turned a wheel, but, they read about it in class. Hell, why didn't they read about running an engine too so they could become textbook engineers. Just my rant. Ken [/quote] Ha Ha here we are now probably uneducated bashing an educated. I am sure you people know way more about the Locomotives and what ever it is that you are educated in, for example maintainence or way, locomotive maintainence, locomotive engineer, conductor, etc...... You know your stuff, you are not un-educated, don't let me sound like going to college is better than not going. I chose to go and here I am, I learn about aspects of Business that nobody, unless educated in it can understand. It is the same way with the abovementioned fields of railroad work, I know nothing about it, I wish I did!!! If it were up to me, I would go to school all my life, but unfortunatly I need an income, school ain't cheap. The trainmasters know a hell of alot more than you care to know, I do believe to be a train master you out rank and are in charge of a huge division of operation. And Railroads are not going to hire somebody that is undereducated than say an engineer or some other employee. Trainmasters have more responsibility than just doing the work you people do. I am not saying they are far superior and smarter, I am just saying they take more risk, are in charge of alot, and know more about thier work than most of us think we know. I agree with you on the matter of a trainmaster that has no experiance thinking they run the show, when they have no clue about how things work, but with experiance that they will get on the job they will become the true runners of the road.
