Too bad I had to waste a week training on the Newark side. Sorry Newark guys. Elizabeth... what, Linden... who, you mean there are two middletowns?

Hahaha. I wasn't aware that morning jobs were so high up on the ladder.

Yeah, morning jobs are sought after by most. There are a few decent night jobs out there but I can't touch them yet. Fortunately, the railroad always offers the ability to move around.

Yea, your telling me, there are two Middletowns? "Which one are you going to????"

Ive never looked at the back of my stock so much trying to figure out what line and zone half these stations are located at with all the new passengers from SEC. Plauderville? where the HELL is that??? "Port Jervis? Damn, you got a long ride ahead pal, switch at SEC!"

:D

Mornign jobs are more desireable, as they usually make more overtime. But I can't hold too many either, and I like nights anyway. Its more laid back, and the bosses that are around jsut wanna go home, and don't wanna deal with anything, so that makes life easier!!!

That "two-Middletowns" dilemma could have been tricky if there were Bergen-Shore Expresses running into NY State...
