[quote user="locomutt"][quote user="Ted Marshall"] <p>What I'd like to know is where do they find the time? I mean...between doing our laundry, cooking our meals and making themselves "available" to us men, climbing up and down, on and off from a locomotive must be quite a chore. </p><p>Unless, of course, they're of the "butch" variety. Then I can totally understand.<span class="smiley">[:-^]</span></p><p><span class="smiley">Am I being chauvinistic here?<span class="smiley">[%-)]</span></span></p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I don't know about you being chauvinistic; actually another word comes to mind.....</p><p>We have a female that frequents this forum that is a CSX conductor and she is Anything but "Butch".</p><p>And when she reads this, you may have bitten off more than you can chew. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Right you are, she's the exact opposite of butch. A woman doesn't have to be "butch" to work on the railroad. I worked with a few and they were cool, I don't see them as being anything less just because of gender. I did know one that had no business being a conductor. She couldn't stop running through switches and tearing up equipment, she was a danger to herself and others, but aside from that she was a very nice person who I had nothing but respect for. She never complained and she worked hard. But without trying to sound like a pig, I think it's sorta hot, but that's just me.</p>
