Jordan, <br /> <br /> Glad to hear you made it and that you're liking school. Just remember that school is a base of learning for when you actually start your REAL training. And like what has already been said, be very careful, free rolling cars don't make much noise if any at all, so have your head on a swivel, and never turn your back to movement; i had to prevent one gauranteed accident that way by stopping the movement someone else was controlling because he had his back turned to the movement he was controlling!!!! He had his back turned in the yard walking down to #7 track, he was supposed to be watching a couple in track #5, so when I noticed he said "7 more cars", and it was actually about 1 1/2 cars I knew something wasn't right. Even though you are new, you are empowered to look out for your co-workers, sometimes they drift off to la-la land, or they bring their home-life baggage with them. Also, school will tell you that you are the boss of the train and empowered to tell the engineer what to do, yes this is true to a certain degree. You are the boss of the train starting after the engines, so how you move the train on the ground is all up to you. But just remember not to get bossy up in that engine, you can remind your engineer of upcoming speed restrictions, work authorities, etc. If you can adapt to the lifestyle of the railroad, you'll have fun with it, just take it slow, learn as much as you can, and always ask questions, no mattter how silly they are. Have fun and Good Luck!!! [:D]
