Think about what Jordan is saying, then ask yourself this: Are you ready for the inevitable day when you ARE going to hit and kill somebody with your train? It WILL happen someday, the odds and statistics are against you. Freight railroads have more work out in the weather and paperwork, but passenger railroads are much higher in suicides.I'd also think long and hard about a career in railroading... Right now I'm thinking about photojournalism, science education, or something to do with engineering (the designing type, not the locomotive type).If I had to change what I was modeling after college, I'd probably model the Central Mass Railroad, either in the steam era as a "what if" alternate routing they considered right through my hometown instead of all the way around the Wachusett Reservoir, or in the modern era as if it was still active in the prototype configuration. That or I'd model the Boston & Albany in either the steam era (Worcester used to get 100+ trains per day!), in the Conrail era, or modern day CSX. Or I'd model the trolley line through my hometown, maybe in the 1900s or maybe modern day, or maybe the CSX Leominster Branch as a modern day shortline, or maybe I'd model a railroad on the moon (anybody still paying attention?) or maybe the Pan Am Worcester line in modern day, but in any case.........I'm going to have to decide later!
