OK, here goes. <br /> <br />1. False <br />2. False, I can make call from home (the one I own) <br />3. Sometimes true, depends on work assignment and how jobs are turning <br />4. False. I think I have done it while sleeping once or twice. Oh, and I have kids too... <br />5. Sometimes true see #3 <br />6. False. The stuff we eat may not always be the healthiest, but we eat. After all, weren't sidewall heaters invented to heat pizza subs??! <br />7. False. We have 24 hour grocery stores here, so not a problem <br />8. See #7 <br />9. Sometimes, see #3. <br />10. Sometimes. See #3. This was very common during the recent mergers when congestion was rampant. <br />11. False. Although my wife was a conductor for a short while on a tourist pike, but that was after we met (I ran the train on weekends)., Don't count on hitting the clubs much or being able to keep a date though. 24/7 means just that. <br />12. False. It does take a certain type of woman to be a RR wife though. Independence, loyalty and work ethic are things to look for. <br />13. Happens some of the time, but there are also always guys looking to zing the company for anything extra this often results in even more problems in figuring out who owes what to who. <br />14. Sometimes true. But you can usually get what you need to get the job done if you want to. <br />15. True. <br />16. False, except here on the NS. <br />17. Sometimes. <br />18. Yup. <br />19. False on the NS. Was more true on Conrail. <br />20. False. The RR is responsible for providing a safe working environment. If you get an honest answer out of many RRers you will find quite a number who have suffered serious injuries from unsafe conditions and/or equipment all of which is the RRs responsibility. <br />21. In some ways. <br />22. Which one? <br />23. In some cases, yes. In other cases there is a lot of dislike for change. I don't care for RCL, but I also don't think it will go away. <br />24. Like any dispute both sides have their points. <br />25. See #24 <br /> <br />That's the view from here. How did the hiring session go with the UP? <br /> <br />LC <br /> <br />
