This is quiet stunning and it is a true story. Today a little boy from grade 7 rode up front with me today. he was doing a school project... He only had one question for me.. why did i want start working on the railroad? I thought i'd share my answer with you all. My earliest expierience with a train... was when i was six years old.. they still had the EMD F series back then.. I was waiting for the schedualed train to go by at 6:24, stop at the Hudson station (the way the train stops is that he stops the trian just enough to go by the crossing so no traffic will go by) .. and then proceed...I decided i was going to move back as soon as the warning lights started chiming, well 6:23 came around, the train approached. I could see its horn blaring and as it rounded the curve... it came suddnely, and the warning lights never went off.. as the train was slowing down to let people off, the engineer had his head out the window., and i yelled up to him "the railway lights aren't working!" he looked at me like i was a darn fool, and basically shurged his shoulders and told me that he didn't give a ***. The next day there was an accidnet at that railroad corssing, the warning lights still weren't working. no one was seriously injured. Thats when i decided when i grew up,i was going to make a difference. Less then a week ago, the train was stopping at the vendome station, where a crossing is located right beside the station, there was a little boy standing beside the tracks, he yelled up to me "weren't the railroad lights supposed to go off?" all i saw was me standing there.. i yelled to the boy "i'll have it fixed right away.. i'm going to place a call and everyhting will be alright." i took down the CPR police number, they had the police there within 2 minutes and they had the lights working within 45 minutes. that is a true story. Thats what motivated me to work the railroad, to make a difference. cheers, kev P.s. If anyone is going to buy a Dvd player, i would highly reccomend the following companys: GE RCA Thomson. 2. Do not buy a DVD player for less then 100 bucks, because you will get what you paid for.. i bought a Mico for 97$ and it wouldn't.. get this... Read DVD's.. Seeing as.. it was it's intended use.. it went back. (it wouldn't wash my laundry either!) 3. make sure your DVD player has an "MP3 Decoder" what is that? it allows you to read MP3 files placedDirectly onto a cd.. that means instead of ~65 minutes of music on 1 cd, you can fit ~ 200 Mp3 songs, which is roughly 12 hours of music. RCA makes the best MP3 decoders available. remeber it is build in the dvd player, and shouldn't cost extra. that's jsut some DVD help. Kev
