Hi! I'm new as you can tell, in so many was, start officially on the trains this May 13th & get a mentor in just a few weeks.
Well, no, we haven't recieved our uniforms yet (what else is new) but as a woman, I was wondering about the red ties. They looked burgandy to me and our jackets have cherry red stripes. This fashion faux paux is driving me nuts but isn't bothering anyone else in the class of course.
Those of you already wearing the uniform, does it make a difference? Is it so far away that you don't even realize it? I know, I've got more important things to worry about like reviewing my signals, buzzers and the like but this has been bugging me.......
Nice site! Never took an interest in trains until this whole Asst. Conductor process. Should be most interesting......
Also, do you all pack a whole lunch or just get something as you're going along. Is there even time? I assume their must be as I'm sure I'll be getting everyone's coffee as the new guy........
