Re: Coker's Adventures on the Mainline - Conclusio

Thanks for shareing your story John! I knew you would come to your senses eventually, I just didn't think it would take that long. I also have been tempted by so called "friends and relatives" to work the main line ever since I graduated from High School. I have no rerets that I went the route that I did. I still wonder if leaving the short line buisness was the right thing, as what I am doing now has all the politics and BS of the main line operations as I work so closely with them. I rather do what you are doing, painting and part time NG railroading. If I didn't have a family, I probably would be. The railroading anyway, I don't have what it takes to do the art work anymore. We all find our own way, and in the end, whatever we did was the right thing.
Good Luck John with whatever you do!!
