All railroads need people. CSX wants me to take my physical characteristics test and GIT exam a week from today. Originally I had two extra weeks of training, but now they are giving me the option to mark up next week. I have been told by a lot of conductors and engineers that I am ready even though I don't feel completely comfortable yarding a train in one of the Chicago yards yet. They told me it would take me up to 2 years before I would be comfortable and that I might as well mark up so I can finally make overtime and get off my training salary. I think I will take my exam and go for it. If I don't know I can ask my engineer or call the yarmaster and ask for help. And I was told that training used to be much shorter, more like a week or two. I've been training for 12 weeks, so I'm probably better off than most. i guess I better break out my timetable and rule books and get cracking.
