For Sterling1 (and anyone else interested) <br /> I 'work' on or more accurately volunteer on the Sumpter Valley excursion Ry. in Oregon. We have a small number of women working with us and at least two are qualified on every position on the train and make no bones about having to do any of the tasks the rest of us do. And they handle it quite well, I might add. They get head to toe filthy in grease, soot and cinders and you don't hear one complaint. Anything resembling a complaint is more like loving affection for having gotten dirty from working on a steam engine. Not too many people get to do that. Plus a fair number of the ridership of the female persuasion seem to be weekend railfans so there are probably more than you might think. Go to a train show and you'll see a great number of women enthusiasts. It's not just a guy thing.[:)]
