Bad train pictures

I don't think the railroads are as liberal with "jumpseat privileges" as airlines are. Most RR's have a rule that states " no no-railroad persons will be allowed on trainsmoving or stopped, without the express permission of ....[insert title here]..." My guess is that would include other RR employees, since RR's tend to be xenophobic.

If Ed was coming to Lincoln on Amtrak from Texas - good luck! Go Greyhound!

That's only to get him to Kansas...usually it takes a big tornado to lift you and your house out of there. Much easier to take a train I'd think. Plus Kansas may still be in black and white still. Not sure haven't been through, or over it in a while.

Poor Kansas - they are even flatter than Nebraska! See what you people are missing - flat, black and white, tornados, under-populated, good BBQ, one Big-12 win, and we aren't even going to discuss N & S Dakota!

Most railroad employees have an "engine pass" for their railroad. No pass, no go...not a fun way to get from a to b either, especially if you get a low priority roadswitcher.

Hi,
My Dad called on his cell phone, he thinks he is in Kansas, everything is flat and in black and white.
He lost the dog in a wheat field.
He said he will stomp out the word help in big letters in the middle of a wheat field.
Whoever Dan is, can you fly over Kansas and look?.
He said there is nothing to see in all directions but wheat, he cant even find a Dairy Queen!
He also asked you to drop a pack of Pall Malls and a thermos of coffee if you see him.
If you do find him, please point him south.
Tell him I washed all his socks, and fed the snakes.
Thank You,
Elizabeth Leigh

The original question I was trying to answer was can one RR employee ride another RR like a UPS pilot hops a jumpseat ride on Northwest flight ? I still think the answer is no, right?

That's why Kansas has such good BBQ. Otherwise no one would ever go there!

ps-

(1) the eastern half of Colorado is Kansas by another name.....

(2) the terrain around the UP siding at St. Mary's, KS needs to be relocated to Colorado. It seems UP built its new siding on the side of a small mountain with US-24 at the bottom of the hill....

There is no official policy that permits employees of one railroad to ride trains of another RR for other than official business.

[wabash1]

there is no policy to allow employees of the same road to be able to ride. if they are not called to ride my train in service they dont ride. even officials who are just wanting to get some where if they aint from my territory they dont ride. this is NS rule. but depending on who it is i break it.
