I love making up my train quickly and safely and seeing what a good, fast job I did. I, along with Steelwheels, enjoy when the dispatcher is on the ball and I flawlessly take down and repeat the track warrant. I like pulling off the branch and onto the main. The sound of our 567s reverberates off the trees lining the track as we accalerate out of town to 55mph (60 on the way back with loads). I like looking back at my train, too, and when the detector says "no defects".
On our branches I love stopping for bacon egg and cheese biscuits or other nourishment and, while others are returning to mere road-bound cars, trucks and SUVs, I get to climb aboard a hulking train and go barking away as school-bound children stare from parents' vehicles.
Oh..and payday is not bad, either.

--Why did it say "84 axles" when we have 20 cars?
--It counts the engine, too
