I didnt get my first cab ride until I was 22, and started working for a localshortline. <br />When I was 13, my dad and I were watching a Norfolk Southern crew switch a small yard in Madison Ga. I was on the ground watching the conductor make his moves. He paused for a second and started a conversation,asked me if I liked trains,just small talk, he told me to be careful, then went on about his job. My dad and I talked to the engineer for several minutes, then he let me up in the cab of one of their GP 38's. Then it was clear that I wanted to work for the railroad, that's all I thought about back then. Now 9 years later, I get daily rides in the cab of a Chessie GP 7. Who else out there still runs 1st generation diseals?
