Yep, deadhead snow caboose. They rip everything out and line the walls with locomotive seats.

I was granted an interview, the only bummer part about it is I have to fly down from Alaska. I would like to thank everyone who answered my questions.

Well UP I just accepted the job offer. If I pass the rest of the garb, we will probably meet up at sometime.

You take a walk on the "Foot Bridge" to check out the pit buddy?

Yes I did and I showed the picture of the place to the guys up here and most of them wouldnt want to take that challenge, lol.

Also if you start getting home sick, once you get into Utah just south of here theres a ton of lakes and mountains to explore. Flaming Gorge Lake is only a couple minutes away to the south. If your still in Green River go check out the Chamber and go to the Forest Service Center to see what its like over there in the Unita Mountains.

LOL if I get home sick I will head to Montana for my weekend. That is where I am really from. The whole bummer of this is I have to leave my wife and kids for a couple of months, and once again she is gonna have to move and sell the house with out me around. She did that when I left to come up to Alaska.
