Yes folks it's true! I have already had a conductor cub ride with me!! I've only been marked up for about 5 weeks now. I joked with my engineer asking him how he liked having two conductor trainees. I decided that having a cub would be good for me because it would make me think more about how I do tmy job and also explain to my cub how to do things, which in turn would help me learn my job better too! The round trip went rather well and when we got back to the home terminal, my cub wanted to tag along with me again! He said he learned more from me and I let him do more than anyone else before. I was pleased that he thought of me in such high reguard, but I still find it odd to have a trainee when I consider myself still training. I just remember cubbing myself and how I didn't like some of my conductors snoozing away next to me and doing dangerous things on the ground when they just aren't neccessary, so I thought what better way to show this new guy how to do things better by leading with my example. Don't get me wrong, most of my conductors were great and showed me a lot and I appreciate what they did for me, so I would like to return the favor by passing on what they taught me. I know I don't even know half of what there is to know about railroading, but I still feel I can make a difference and hopefully give these "newer" conductors a leg to stand on. [oX)][2c]
