Retired from CSX RR after 43 years as a locomotive engineer. Operated every train we had; yard switchers, local freight, double barrel coal trains (144 cars 6 locomotives) fast container ((stack trains) and Amtrak. I had a great career and loved "running" trains. Saw huge changes in the industry, from simple locomotives to computers controlling everthing we did on the trains except take a restroom break.
