Video was good, but would have been so much better without background music and with more of the real railroad sounds.

these guys are probably scared to death about some official catching them breaking some ridiculous rule and getting them fired. happens all the time. I feel bad for em that they have to be filmed and looked at under a microscope ALL day.

Hate to see this kind of sentiment among railroaders.... As a rail fan, I'm sure I don't get the full perspective, by a long shot, but having a relative in the business, I admire and respect the ones that make railroading careers the best they can. I know its a tough field with a lot of negative issues, but believe me, its not much different than any other job in that respect. God bless the railroader and their families! Super Nice video , by the way.

I've railroaded my entire working career and w/o a doubt I've had a "FU" attitude from time to time.

Instead of sitting back and complaining however, I decided to try and do something about it. It's more personally challenging for me to be a "leader" and try to tackle the massive problems facing our industry than to sit back and complain.

And I agree. It can be a nice job. Even when I was running I enjoyed it. Not always. But for the most part I did and do.

[FrostuMcPenos]

touche. an FU attitude is hard not to develop after a while on the rails. regardless, im not the one in charge of fixing it. the sooner our "leaders" realize there IS, in fact, a problem, the sooner we can take steps to develop a solution.

by "some", i sure hope u mean most. it seems like u do, but the way the ppl are, im just not convinced.

it could be a nice job if the environment changes...
