Big Dave's Trip to N.A.R.S.

This is a video of pictures I made on Monday, November 5th. I was on a trip from Canistota, SD to Overland Park, KA. A very special Thank-You goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Kom for making this trip possible.

I went to the NARS conductor course in May 09' it was awesome but I cant get a job for nothing

I graduated from NARS in 2005. Got hired soon after. Unfortunately, the economy has hit hard and I am barely working. Railroading is not for everyone, and I have mixed feelings on it.

One other thing I forgot to mention on the last post, the Dean of the Railroad Sciences school is a big, fat, obnoxious tub of crap by the name of Andy Burton. Watch out for him. He screwed up my resume and it got sent to a bunch of railroads in the incorrect format. Then when I confronted him about it he got extremely arrogant and verbally attacked me. A total dick. The whole thing is a money making deal for the college and BNSF Railway. Do not waste your money.
