OK heres a good one... <br /> <br />it's 110 degrees outside.. it was Saturday or sunday... i was scedualed to run the 3 car train.. (1 locomotive, 3 cars) howerevr.... maintenace called for them.. so i got the 8 car train... <br /> <br />any problems? yes.. the eight car train, comprized of.. "Back-in-the-day" cars.. (in montreal we call those the Dreaded 800 cars.. because there numbered from 801-830. as you would imagine there are NO AIRCO in these cars.. you can open all the windows.. nothing comes in. it must have been 130, 140 in those bloody things.. all the passengers qwere cramped in the first car... its the new control cat.. with airco and all.. but the other conductor "shot gunned" it before me.. so i'm all alone in the 800 series cars, 140 degrees no air movement, sweat pourring down, running at 15 mph (track broke, current stopped, all signals red) i thought i was GONNA die of heat. <br /> <br />that was littelry not a fun day to go to work! <br /> <br />i think of a better storie i can tell you.. oh and the br4eak in the ttack was so small... but enough tro disturb the signal current..! <br /> <br /> <br />
