I think he meant my question if he was a railroader or railfan.
I asked that because there are a few railroaders on here that could answer but I was not familiar with the name.
The reason I asked was once when I started on the job as an 18 year old Loco trainee, I thought I knew a lot about railroading. Turned out I knew squat as to actual operations.
Your reply was more mainline work orientated and I'm really still in the dark as to the real reasons. Maybe John will chime in if he see's fit.
I also sent the video on to a couple of other retired Enginedrivers, one who was Road Foreman and their responses were unrelatable to your delicate ears.
