Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Depending on when he started, he'd have gone all the way from steam to diesel powered trains. That's quite a lot of change to experience.

My brother's wife's sister (I don't think that makes her my sister in law, as I'm not the one married to his wife) is a train engineer. She lives out your way. She makes mad loot doing her job.

I wouldn't think that job would be all that difficult

When he died guess who his daughter called to come comfort her?

Gues who she called for more comfort after the funeral.

I didn't even go to the funeral

LOL No, it's not too physically tough these days. It's a ton of responsibility and stress. While it's not all that hard, any deviation from the rules/regulations is damning. There's no such thing as an engineer that made repeated mistakes.

You also gotta know a whole lot, for the myriad of hings that can go wrong. But, the day to day operation is so mundane that you have to press a button every five minutes to prove you're not asleep. At the same time, when things go wrong they can go wrong REALLY badly.

I wouldn't want the job.

It might be fun for a day or a week!
