Citizens for Rail Security - Need Help With Registration

[Willy2]

A couple of days ago I tried registering with BNSF for their citizens for rail security program. I got registered, but there is a problem with the confirmation e-mail. I got the e-mail confirming that I am registered, but when I try to open the link that contains my indentification card, it won't open. Can anyone help me out?

On another note, I'm watching the Collge World Series game between Georgia and Oregon State and one of the Georgia players wants to be a train engineer after he graduates. The announcers were making fun of him saying that "when they want to be train engineers, you know they must be really wierd". I'd say that's kind of harsh; it seems that everyone thinks us railfans are nothing but wierdos. [:(!]

Thanks for any help on my registration!

No more weird than wanting to be an announcer on college baseball telecasts.

Being in the media business myself, I'd say a train engineer makes better money than those two broadcasters; his job is also more steady, and has much better benefits.

Most announcers working minor sports (which does not include guys like Bob Costas and Brent Musburger) are hired strictly as independent contractors on an as-needed basis, which means NO benefits (insurance, pension, holiday pay) and NO job security. My best guess would be the announcers are getting no more than $200 to $400 a game, plus travel expenses.

If I was that Georgia player, I'd ask the announcers: "If you're so good at what you do, why aren't you doing 162 games a year for a major league team?"
