Shrek, <br /> <br /> Congrats on making it in the front door. I railroad from Danville, IL up to Chicago, and also from Danville down to Evansville, IN. The CSX line I run hugs the state line between IN and IL. The most valuable piece of advice that I can give you is LISTEN!!!! Listen to what everyone has to tell you, even if you think you know, just listen to what they have to say. That's the number one way to alienate your fellow workers out here. I have a buddy from my school at my terminal that has almost successfully alienated every engineer he has worked with because he has the attitude he knows everything already, but he doesn't. One week after he marked up he ran his train through a switch, luckily he noticed something didn't look right, and he avoided derailing his train, but NEVER be to proud to ask. If you have the slightest doubt in what you are doing ask questions. There are no stupid questions out here, even though sometimes your co-workers will make you feel stupid. In the end you take the careful route and you'll earn respect from everyone around you. If you have any questions at all feel free to ask me or any other folks on here. You can also look through previous posts and learn a lot from them as well. Good luck and welcome aboard!! [#welcome]
