Yes i did. I actually bought a western star (not my first choice but it was CHEAP!) from an online ritchie brothers auction. The auction was in prince george, so me and the woman made a vacation out of it and drove up to PG, then drove both vehicles back. Some really nice country up there!
Im on workers comp right now though, twisted my acl in my knee last winter, so Im off till i get fully recovered. Its boring, and I cant run my own equipment till im off of it, but I am looking forward to it.

It would take a minimum of 2 1/2 yrs.
6-9 months conductor training,then you have to work as a conductor for 2 yrs.After two yrs.,they will ask you if you want to train as a engr.3-4 wks schooling,then depending on how fast you pick up the running a locomotive 6 mnths to a year on the job training.
With that being said,you won't be able to work as an engr full time for quite a while.You would get called for spare work a fair bit though.

Probably not. If they did I would be kind of scared and think I had some special powers.
Had my little visit with the dentist today. What fun.
Any good news on the bronco situation. Cruised by the wrecker the other day and didn't notice anything new or exciting.
PS: I think you may be one of the forementioned yoyo's.
