When they're talking "spur of the moment," it's more to do with daily life. Do you just do things without planning them out beforehand??? Obviously with railroading, especially when you are new, you always want to plan out all your moves and talk to your engineer before you do them. I have only been railroading for a year and four months now, and I always consult my engineer about what we are going to do before we do it. You answered that question the way it should have been answered. You're perception of spur of the moment for getting a call to work would not qualify as spur of the moment because you will work on an extraboard where you must expect to get called at any time and day, even on your off days sometime! Of course you don't have to answer the phone on your off day, but that's a whole nother quandry.
