Re: Posters to this site...
My years on the railroad are similar, although I can only speak to "how we used to do it." I've never been "told off", but I've told I was "wrong" regarding some very specific things about which I had direct knowledge from actually working the job! I also see a lot of assumptions made on railroad operations not based on the reality. That being said, I don't expect non-railroaders to be experts on the inner-workings of a railroad any more than I would understand the inner-workings of an auto plant or other industry. I do enjoy answering railroad questions or explaining operational things when I can.
