I used to volunteer at Illinois Railway Museum a few years ago during summer operating seasons. I actually operated their only CTA PCC Green Hornet Trolley. Seriously, I have an operators license (expired now) for the 2004-2005 season. I've worked on MOW Crews when derailments happened (Usually when tourists are not around) and been a ticket collector. Well I was speaking to someone I know there and they told me a brakeman is retiring and asked if I was interested in being the Brakeman for Burlington Northern-1/2.
These are BN-1 and BN-2:
I'm going to do it. Hell why not. This isn't a paying opportunity but it sure as hell is one I don't want to pass up. Maybe I'll retest for my motorman certificate and run the Green Hornet again.... Naw I'll settle for this chance~
