Fringy, science-stuff, maybe fact or fiction?

Yup, believe it of not, I used to drive trains between 1988 - 1992. I started out as fireman, then brakeman, until I reached the dubious title of : 'conductor.' After all the schooling, I was promoted to engineer. I got qualified on 2 yard switchers, as well as 2 road switchers.

I grew up in NYC, in front of the IRT elevated West Side line. As a child, I was always fascinated by trains. Luckily, I eventually got to drive them for myself.

oh, the memories of living by the train station in chicago. i loved looking out the window on snowy days and see it dash by. i waved at the passengers, which now i see it was a BIG mistake.
