It isn't a generation gap, it's a chasm....and the new hires have exhibited a 50:50 chance of not sticking, despite fairly decent pay. (button pushers don't fare well in an hands-on environment with weird hours)

And all those guys mentioned in that piece are no spring chickens. All you young railfans reading this take note. Opportunities available in things other than t&e. I think I chose the wrong department at times (well, most of the time anymore).
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any
