I hope that the CSX brass gives them some type of official recognition or commendation for being dedicated railroaders that look out for the public while doing their duties.

I just hope there is someone left who will look out for me when I get to that point in life.

Just goes to show that no matter how much we may dislike a corporate entity, the guys (and gals) on the ground are real people. Nice job!

Funny how when we are lost and can't even remember our names, we seem to gravitate towards the choo-choo's. Must be in our genes........[:D]
