I like that suggestion- Principles Vs. Personalities. <br /> <br />Can anyone tell i'm being very Sarcastic? Well, I was. <br /> <br />Anytone who has any experience working for any Railroad will know, that absolutely no one will disagree with you like a "lady" or a "gentleman" there is a lot of swearing, name calling, And even at the point where everyhting is allowed in this forum, I would still say that this forum is NOT an accurate reflection of RR life; Everyhting is dulled down and said more politely as it is. <br /> <br />Trust me, A REAL RAILRAOD discussions are rated about PG-961, in accordance with the video rating system. <br /> <br />So, we all want to take a sight, that has some PG-13 discussion and Dumb that down to G? What are we then left talking about? What RR ties are made of, the actual Iron content in the Rails, Why Santa claus didn't visit my house.. etc.. <br /> <br />No contreversy, No progression. It is as simple as that. <br /> <br />Ever left the brakes on a locomotive then put it notch 8? how far do you progress? <br /> <br />No progression whatsoever, and you **** alot of people off because you've just grinded up the rails. <br /> <br />I can't help but notice that most of the Railroaders are object to this rules, while people who don't spend much time with RR staff don't really know how it works. <br /> <br />I think Wabash or CSXEnginner will tell you how often they have Uncivilized to say the best, conversation with other RR employees. <br /> <br />I'm betting a few times a month. maybe even on a weekly basis? <br /> <br />When you work for an RR, you develop a Vey thick outter shell, That lets nothing by- Someone calls you a name, you don't sit around a mope about it for several hours,. you suck it in, and continue your line of duty. <br /> <br />I know I have a yelling match with several CP breakman every month, Heck when someone blinds our train crew with there lights on their train when they are heading right towards us (double track), it's a race who can get to the radio first, and tell them exactly where they can shove thier train. <br /> <br />I think we otaa stop looking at the world through Rosey coloured Glasses, and embrace it as the cruel place it really is, Rather then sheild ourselves. Can't handle it hear? man, you can't handel the real world!
