We don't wear suits anymore; we "look just like the client". If we have to go out to the warehouse to count spare parts inventory, that's what we do.
With all those hundred of thousands -- no millions -- of dollars flowing through the Cats' Paw Central you want to make sure these dollars are used for their intended purpose...

Heck I already pay at least two grand a year in taxes funding equally hairbrained schemes and to provide transportation, room and board to free-loaders....I'm mean the less fortunate. Count me in. I just want to drive......train, plane or a hi-rail truck. I'm fairly tired of management stuff, unless I get to run the grade crossing safety campaign.....I have a slogan "Got sense?"

How about:



Got Sense

Or

Get Ticket

Or

Get killed




Just a little long for our "Operation 'Got Sense' " locos but does get the message across.

We could operate my Truck Commuter Transport-TCT (truck ferry) too. We can use E units and P-42s for it.[(-D][(-D][:-^][:-^]

Our Operation "Got Sense" logos might fit on an E unit. [:D]

UNITS or Unit investment trusts invest in blocks of industrys most commonly Utlitys and oil and gas companys
What we could do is form a UNIT for Class Ones and another for short lines. Yet Another would be for railroad car and supply. The UNITS would be a Down Jones of the industry and all we would would be doing is hanging on for the ride. With our UNIT we Could influnce the class ones to do our bidding and get free Cab rides just by showing our UNIT club card.
