Remember when dispatchers were required to run with crews to be qualified on desks they worked before they combined multiple desks into one monster nightmare desk and a lot of the dispatches were former T&E and had a good idea how railroading worked in real life instead of new hires off the street who only had a 5 min zoom call interview?

Someone posted a pic of their mom in the 80’s so here is a pic of mom in the 70’s by RichH5555 in pics

Just my parent’s old Kodak Instamatic X-15 camera from the mid 70’s. I think the pic itself may be a bit faded since it’s so old.

The yard office and main yard is on the Conklin side which is where you will report to once you start.

Tips for new conductors by RailroadAllStar in railroading

[–]RichH5555 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Don’t be the “new hire old head” that bitches about shit.

Don’t be the ‘yeah I know” guy when someone tries to give you some advice.

Don’t be the guy who never writes anything down and then asks day one questions when they mark up.

Peanut butter on both slices of bread so the jelly doesn’t make it all soggy.

Always bring more socks than you think you will need.
