HAHA.....okay I will try! I'm not going quite into Texas today, the furthest point East I will be going is Belen, NM. It's just south of Albuquerque. I don't go beyond that, and Westbound I stop at Needles, Cali. It's just barely across the AZ border. Other crews take the trains beyond those points, I just go to the hotel, get some rest, then take a train home

I just got really lucky Mark. REALLY lucky. For my class there was 8 people hired, and I believe about 7,000 applicants. I don't have any family that works for the railroad, lots of people have been hired that way in the past, but those days are over now. They pay us very well for what we do, I am very grateful for it too. I know my family is well taken care of now, and in the future......trains will always be here, regardless of the economy. Without them ALL of the highways would be solid grid-lock
Holy smokes!! You guys were quick to get there!! I'm about half-way to my test site and thought I'd check in to see if I had a chance... Nice post for the 5k milestone, too!! Thanks Travis!!
So does this mean we're all jumping to the other OT now??
