Chatonlyman: Trains are the last thing I want to think about LOL Ive been working for a railroad for 27 years and hopefully only have 2 more to go.I can hardly wait to retire.I will finally be free someday and Im going on a long freedom ride when its time.
Morning Chat.....That's interesting that you work for a railroad. I come from a railroad family....even worked there myself for a few years in the office.
It was a short line railroad that was never in the red. My father-in-law was the President; when he died my husband took his job; my father worked there for 47 years in every position except the office.
One day a maintenance man used a torch to burn bees out of the eaves of the 112 year old wooden building. The fire spread and the building was lost. We worked out of a trailer to keep the train running but eventually the stockholders asked the government to shut it down. It was a sad day when there was no more RVRR. When I go past there now and the sadness creeps back cause they removed the tracks and the buildings where the engines were kept. Now it's a line of stores. There was a great history of how that railroad was used.

I once worked in a wooden roundhouse built in 1910 but the building was falling apart(roof) So they took the track out and relocated the workers who didnt quit.It was a short line railroad that was never in the red.
