RR Employment: What am I doing wrong?

I've read all the replies and must agree with many - that the workers on the RR like to walk on the road less often traveled. Working for many years in IS/IT type work in which I needed to support a computer system 24x7, 365.25 days / year, meant that when the rest of the world was enjoying a 3-day weekend, most likely I wasn't. <br /> <br />I know the few hours I spend next to the rails watching those people who can climb up into the 'heart' of the train and release the power that makes my heart swell with pride, too many times need to do this in snowy, rainy, and when they aren't feeling too good. <br /> <br />I know the very rare times (and I mean very, VERY rare times) that when watching a train the engineer or conductor, will invite me inside the cab of one of these road units while they swicth-out the train - i know that this will be the extent of my time inside an engine. <br /> <br />For those of you who like to walk the road that most people don't, and are lucky enough to find a partner who can handle you missing birthdays, births, anniversarys - then I envy you. Oh to be young again (I'll be 50 in October) since I am a walker of that road I would be a perfect candidate for this type of job. <br /> <br />****************************************************** <br /> <br />Does anyone know where the main data-centers are for the RRs? I read more and more about GPS technology helping the RRs environment. If the RRs are hiring IS/IT type work, and 50 is not too old, I would love to say that I work for a RR. <br /> <br />Bill (ww)
