Thanks for the link Bob,

I always enjoy Human Interest Stories. This was neat. With the exception that she has no sick days.

Johnboy out…

Many of us MRRers glamorize and ramanticize “Working on the Rail Road”.

Many of us think it would be neat to be an engineer, conductor or such.

But in reality to them that do, it is just a job and can be as stressful and drawn out like our jobs.

We must never forget that.

SO…a story like this one is good to read once in awhile.

She sounds like she is just bidding her 3+ years time to retirement.

That’s a great story. Thanks for sharing, Bob!
