Continuing the theme of 'no' answers, no, I don't but as suggested in another thread, the railway is somewhat of a passion of mine. I was seriously pursuing a railway career about 4 or 5 years ago when quite suddenly, my life changed, my priorities changed, I found myself living a quarter of the way around the globe and suddenly it didn't seem quite so viable... C'est la vie

There is another thread that covers this topic here:

Another "No" answer, but a question: If you work for a railroad, do you need training pants?

Long ago I had a friend who worked for the "Southern". With just six months to go till retirement he made a small mistake, found and corrected it himself with no delays or danger involved, and was fired over it just so they wouldn't have to pay his pension I'm glad that line is now defunct The legendary Saluda grade is about 20 miles from here, and it's as steep as it's reputation was.

No it doesn't. Plus that one is old and uninteresting.

YES! I do work on the railroad, all the live long day to be precise. I'm on a shortline now but I started out with BNSF.

My granpa worked for Burlington northern until retirement. My hometown is a huge railroad hub. Biggest railyard bridge outside Chicago and 2nd biggest railyard in illinois. We've been working on getting the national railroad hall of fame built for quite a few years now but it's been plagued by budget problems. If I had never been burned and in a wheelchair i'd prolly be working there myself. I do have some n scale trains in the garage too but they have been put on hold for now-no room for a layout.
