010: Your Career with Norfolk Southern (Part 2)

The Roundhouse is Our House, and having topics requested by you on the show is highly important to meet that goal.  Many of you have been curious about what it is like to work for a Class I Railroad, so I interviewed THREE employees from Norfolk Southern, each from a different area or field of work. Chris Tokarcik Interview Having qualified as a conductor less than half a year ago, Chris provides us with insight as to how the railroad can affect your lifestyle, especially as a railfan.  Also, since he enjoyes train simulators, he provides comparison between simulated and real life railroading. Chris works out of Waynesburg PA, and the territory he works has been recreated for Railworks/Train Simulator 2015.  Click here to view my review of this route. Kenny Darr InterviewKenny worked at the Harley Davidson plant in York PA for 14 years before being laid off.  Having grown up with an interest in trains, he decided to apply for the position of Fireman and Oiler with Norfolk Southern.  He describes what his position requires, what it is like to work in the Enola shops, and why he is so proud to work for Norfolk Southern. Question of the Day Name a person, organization, or topic you want to have on the show.  Of course, this is always something I want you to share with me, but for this particular week I will be selecting responses to share on the show.  Let me know and I will respond to your comments in our next episode.   Subscribe on iTunes, Join our Newsletter, share this episode with at least one person today, and remember that The Roundhouse is Our House!
