Ney- So I guess this means you got a job as a DS or at least a DSt. Congratulations. Where and with who? I would suggest from the perspective of an operating guy that you get a map of every foot of your territory and know the location of every switch and signal. I'm not sure who you will be working for, but, if possible I suggest you ride as much of your territory as possible with a train crew. It will be a BIG help in understanding what you are doing. DS are like anybody else, it takes a while to break in. Many times I have had DS, especially new ones or those unfamiliar to the territory try to have me make a move that is not physically possible (i.e. a track needed for the move was no longer there). Just be aware it is a highly stressful job and you will be on four or five phone lines at once and the radio while trying to watch four or five CRTs in front of you. Supervision will be right in the room with you and you will be at least able to ask some questions. Just watch the smoking and alcohol and also coffee. Don't mix coffee and aspirin (recipie for an ulcer). Good Luck. LC
