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

You've got to have the coolest job of any member here. How did you get it? Family connections?

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

WOO HOO- it only took me an hour today to catch up on 21 pages!! Travis thanks for the 5000th post tribute- truly a class act!

Today we get our furniture back in the house FINALLY after a month of being moved out since the faucet hose came out and flooded the house.

Mark, what club is it you're talking about? I guess I missed that one....
