Every year i take a rules exam and every year a road forman has to ride with me. this is to stay current and keep my qualifacation as a engineer. when the railroad needs engineers they are promoted from the conductors senority toster. when they are told to report for school and sit down in class that is when they establi***heir firemans senority. and when in training will get paid at a firemans rate til qualified to be a engineer.. As far as the vision goes it is like your stae divers lic. if you have 20/40 you pass otherwise if you get 20/20 with corrective lenses you pass. and you lic will reflect this, and when running a engine you better have your glasses on.
[:D]You has a senority toaster? Heck, I got a old coffee pot, the kind that perks. Now all we need is a hot plate and a can of ranch beans.[8D]
Stay Frosty,
