I've even assumed a new -- and more honest -- persona ... and I copped an avatar from Bill, but I'm still not a brakeman. I guess you've gotta start somewhere.

Hmmm. On the railroad we call this "prior rights"... if the management wants to "bust our seniority", Robin, we better elect a local chairman pretty quickly!Apprentice? We been on the "board" for years! Must be these "right-to-post" laws they're trying to pass in PA lately...(tongue-in-cheek!)

Hmmm... Labor agitation is in the air. Perhaps I need to follow the example of that great P&R president, Franklin Gowen, and hire the Pinkertons...
