Just wanted to give an update on where I've been.
I recently, after trying for the last year, was hired on with
the Union Pacific Railroad and I am currently in
schooling/training to become a train conductor/engineer.
Training is pretty intense... so all my time and mental energy
has been towards that at the moment.
Should graduate in a couple weeks and should have a bit more
free time to fend off zombies and rebuild the world. ;)

OK, ok. When you say "training" is intense... did you mean
training you went through, or is "training" a term for well,
doing shit with a train?
Grats!

Congratulations NegativeX that's a very solid and interesting
job you've landed! My Dad was a brakeman for the railroad for
many years before an injury put him out of commission.
Maybe someday we'll get trains in 7DTD and you can take us down
the tracks so we can leap out of the cars a' la Divergent style
haha.

Thanks everyone!
And when I say, "training is intense" I meant the schooling,
haha...

Bummer to hear that about your dad. ;\ We actually go over
accident reports daily and railroading is definitely a job that
you have to constantly have your situational awareness about
ya... one small lapse in concentration and that's it. And even
then, there's just unforeseen accidents that happen, like rail
breakage.
We're actually starting out doing on the job training as
Brakemen/Switchmen for the first few weeks, then onto Conductor
training shortly after.

I've never been accused of railroading someone.
