I know this is a little out of sequence, but I was just reading some of the posts about the suit vs. labor issue, and the college degree issue, and I have just a few points to make. <br /> <br />You can't learn how to railroad in college, you can't learn it from a book, or by watching videos. The only way you can really learn how to railroad is by railroading. I know you can go to college and become a conductor or dispatcher, but that is not railroading. <br /> <br />Look at the current situation the UP is in right now. No crews No locomotives, No trains, because some college boy thought he could save money by cutting of operating employees. <br /> <br />You know it was some college boy who thought it would be great to cut off engineers in favor of remote controls. Do you know that right now in Denver, CO, trains are being sent to North Platte, NE just to be switched, and then brought back because the remotes can't keep up. <br /> <br />Now who really needs the education. College boy
