Ed, <br /> <br /> The move was prompted by several things. First of all, my wife is in veterinary school and there is no way she wants to work at a clinic in the same town as the school. The weird thing is that there are more vet clinics in Champaign-Urbana per square mile than churches; so she knows that she'd probably only be offfered a small salary due to all the competition. Moving to Indy gives her a much larger city to build a much large base of clientel. Second, both of us are from Chicago, and we miss the big city life. We both don't really want Chicago due to the high living costs and insane traffic, etc. Indy provides a big city life without the high prices and traffic is much more tolerable. Third, Indy provides me a much larger terminal to work out of with many more job choices and a much more secure future. Danville is one of those terminals that depends solely on one major customer, and if that customer were to find a new shipper, then Danville yard would be shut down. Plus, I applied to be a dispatcher at Indy, and If I were to ever be hired on I'd already be living there. However, a few sources on the train dispatchers website have informed me that my chances aren't real good right now, so I'll just have to wait. <br /> Macguy, the new signal system I am learning is NORAC.
