There's people that I work with that would have been fired many times over if they were on another Class I RR that are still working. (I.E.: tearing up A LOT of equipment!)You're correct, working for the CN from a Chicago terminal wouldn't be that bad. It's rare that you guys run beyond Champaign, correct? Try running from Centralia to Champaign and tying-up. Then you're called to run from Champaign to Markham, wait an hour for a van, and then spend the next 5-hours on the highway going back to Centralia. Another 15+ hour day. Same old song, it all depends upon your perspective.........
