I was working Hudson early one morning, years ago, and I had a burro crane to get from one side of the interlocking to the other. So I did it, and delayed a rush hour PATH train, which delayed the one behind it, and so on. After a while the PATH figured out who had put their rush hour in the bag.

Trains aren't dangerous, it's lack of common sense that's dangerous.
From the stories you tell, it seems as if you've failed at just about everyone one of the many jobs you've held on the railroad.
To loosely quote Capt. Jack Aubrey from the movie Master and Commander: "NJT runs a railroad, not a private yacht! WE DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR DAMNED HOBBIES, SIR!"
