    I worked for CSX transportation as a brakeman, it's very hard work and it's dangerous too.. I worked for CSX for few yrs, now I'm chemist for big laboratory in Virginia, no more outdoors working.... When I worked for CSX, I never put on my application or resume but I had a bachelor in science in chemistry.... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was also familiar with all the chemicals we would haul though Virginia... And I never said anything to the engineer.... It was a good learning experience, plus I got to see a lot of things I would have seen otherwise.... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Doug is now on the Start Program for not wearing his safety glasses. Doug will be watched by the drone flew by the Road Foreman. Doug will be then brought up on charges because he did not use Trip Optimizer even though he has been an engineer for 34 years. Doug will be held out of service for an extensive time with no word on when or if he will be allowed to come back to his job.

      Exactly what I was thinking. I mean if you can hack it, more power to you. I dunno, I delivered mail to slums for a good part of my USPS career. Some places where cops don’t go without backup. But, I was home (eventually) at night. As much as it sucked, I don’t think I could have hacked the RR lifestyle, at least not being married anyway.
