[quote user="zardoz"] <p>This has nothing to do with who's paying who for what.</p><p>I fully understand why a train crew person does not wave: many of them are tired, have lost their wives, feel like crap, and are caught between the rock and hard place of a railroad that wants to skimp on safety and the Feds that watch a railroader to be sure they follow all those safety rules. And it seems that 'these days' many of the railroad employees look at railroading as "just a job". They cannot imagine anyone actually being interested in a railroad for anything other than a (rather nice) paycheck. </p><p>Those of you that are both rails AND railfans know exactly what I'm talking about. You can tell at work when your coworker is just 'doing their job' compared to someone who actually enjoys their work. The engineers in the first group are fond of using the phrase, "A bad engineer gets paid the same as a good one". They have no pride in their work (or themselves, either). </p><p>What I DO NOT understand is why someone who visits a RAILFAN forum would be so down on being nice to a FELLOW railfan.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Your posts insisting that I wave at people are not making me happy.</p><p>And I'm not even a rail..</p><p> </p><p> </p>
