I work for a regional railroad called Metra as a tower operator. Not a bad job really but I've gotten outta model trains a lot since I see the real deal for 8 hours a day at work now.

That's also why I wasn't involved until I retired. The 1hr+commute on NJT & NYCT, 8 to 10 hrs overseeing train operations, then the 1hr+commute back, satisfied my thirst. Hey Jim, when you can you explain the operations of yard switches with "remote control point operation"
Thanks Joe
