NS 70E (6-14-08) YOUNG LADY IS CONDUCTOR TRAINEE! COFFEEN.

NS 70E with conductor trainee Ms. Leader, conductor Chris Avery and engineer Bill Anderson faxed in to bring this load to Coffeen and bring a empty back. Big hat off and shout to Ms. Leader! Not to many woman can handle those coal trains! They will bring back a empty from Coffeen as well. UP 6485, UP 6669, 118 loads, 6,650ft., 17,000tons, UP 6553 on the rear. The train behind is NS 69B (coil steel train to Decatur) I did not catch it. NS 318 met, NS 145, 70E, and another southbound at night. Also 145 reported track problems in Mt. Olive so had to put 25mphs up. AGAIN, GOOD JOB, MS. LEADER!

Coworker showed me this video....... I find it creepy as hell knowing there are people out there like you who obsess over our every move, stalking employees and knowing them on a first name basis. Where do you work, Kevin? I would like to come to your place of employment and follow you around with a camera narrating you doing your job like I have a clue.

@RedVoxVulpes Sure! Make sure you bring two cameras! One to video tape and one to take pictures! I wouldn't mind it at all considering I am not doing anything wrong at my work. I was simply stating that this gal did a good job. Seeing as how you look that deep down into it is just down right creepy! It's people like you that gets everyone else all worked up over nothing! Happy writings!

[RedVoxVulpes]

@CQDX018 Typical foamer response, and you completely missed my point. How can you judge who is doing a good job when you aren't even an employee yourself? I would reiterate but it would likely be another swing and miss. Happy foaming!

@RedVoxVulpes Typical low life responce! I expected that from someone with an IQ of 2. I actually do work for a shortline that loads trains for the Union Pacific and the Norfolk Southern but since your going to have a smart ass comment for everything I shall just let it be at that! Get a life! Or should I say earn retirement!

Damn fine Conductor Trainee right there!

This is beyond creepy.

@RedVoxVulpes i kind of agree with you, i would rail fan but i never got that deep knowing exactly which channels to listen to and such, i would just use a scanner and listen to whatever, but now as a conductor trainee, to have someone know exactly what channels I'm going between for my moves is a bit creepy, unless that rail fan happened to also be a co worker.

How many women worked for the Southern Railway, at least before the merger?

[tarmac2001]

I've heard quite a few NS female dispatchers. I applied for a dispatcher position with NS, and one of the requirements was the ability to type a min. of 35 wpm. My typing skills are total crap in regard to meeting that requirement
