Submit a Review"$$$, that's what makes the world go around. That's what we're all after and that's what we will strive to achieve till we can't do it any longer. The scenery is awesome, and I'm proud to say I'm a conductor until this time rolls around and the same person that you said you're lucky and got a lifetime job hears you say you just got canned! I like working with different people, and my terminal trainmaster is a really awesome guy. Have a few other officials I like as well but mostly all new in Erwin now."
