Greetings and saluatations! <br /> <br /> Recently I worked a yard job as an RCO foreman. I was pulling cars down the runner (think of it as a lead), and standing on the lead locomotive to watch a crossing. Anyways there was a piggyback train sitting on the main next to me. The crew was not to go on duty for 30 minutes, so the yardmaster said we could work a track before the crew came on. So, as my switchman finishes with the move here stand the engineer and conductor, both with close to 30yrs. The engineer, who I had gotten along with well before, says to me: "Good job Nathan, way to block the crossing to our train." [:(!] These guys were 20 minutes early and god forbid I keep them from their precious piggyback. I don't know about the rest of you railroaders, but the piggyback crews at my terminal are a bunch of cry babies and think they're entitled to special priviledges and butt kissings. They'll get none from me! I was about to say "%##! You!", but I thought better of that and just smiled and waved as if I heard nothing. I'm respected by the old heads because I'm respectful and I listen to them, but I was pretty close to losing my cool. Then I thought about turning on the brights just to stick it to him, but I thought better of that as well. Am I just a hot headed youth or should I be slinging some mud back??? I think I already know the answer, but I enjoy reading what you folks think. [;)] <br /> <br /> Oh, by the way Happy Halloween [}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)] Time for me to go work third shift at Bunge Milling and watch some local miscreants toss a few eggs around!!
