I come from a line of Rails that dates back several generations. My Dad worked for the Espee in the days of steam. Got to work with plenty of Cab Forwards..( Lucky bum.) I currently work for a shortline in Northern California. Believe you me, railroading isn't the same as it use to be. In some respects....Thank God!!!!! Apparently some of you guys didn't see the issue of Trains Magazine a year or so ago. The the article was intitled " The Second Best Day Of My Life Was When I Hired On With The Railroad. The Best Day Of My Life Was When I Quit." At least I think that's how the title went. At any rate, for all you would be or wannabes, all I can say is make Good and Sure that's what you want to do for a living. It's not and easy job by no means. Odd hours, bad weather, bad equipment to deal with not to mention a really lousy social life. And railroading has a bad effect on marriages. And that's just some of the good things.....LOL Sorry, hate to harp like this but it's not a job for everyone. Rip
