Well, if PTSD happens to you and you're a CN worker from Michigan on down, there's hope for you. Here's an excerpt from a law firm in CHICAGO;
"....I just jumped. I thought I was going to die. I was pretty lucky, though, ‘cause I only had a few bruises. But I haven't been able to sleep since it happened. I'm driving my wife and kids nuts. I'm afraid to go back to work. I don't know what to do....."
Sound familiar? My friend can't sleep and he's driving his family nuts. Read the rest here;

Snow? Here's snow--enough to bury the locomotives clearing the line. You can see why it's not a joke to pass through.

An interesting quote from this page: "Sometimes it gives; sometimes we give. But it's the biggest thrill of your life if you don't land in the ditch."
This was on the Apache Railway in the 1960's, but I've seen many more recent images of very similar situations in the snowbelt region in Ontario.
