Promotion on the Ringling train



I just passed my test for airmen certification today. I'm now going to be a department head and the only airman for the ringling red train. I will be solely responsible for the entire air system on 34 coaches, 4 stocks, 18 flats, 2 containers and 1 by level. I'll get a much bigger room and 100 dollars more per paycheck. Wahoo! Kudos for my resume and railroad knowledge in my pocket!
     Word to the wise, keep an eye on the blue trains schedule. Union Pacific has just committed to pull the blue train into Denver with a double lash up 844 and Challenger. They will pull it from 100 miles out into Denver. It's going to be a huge ordeal and literally thousands will be chasing it. Something I never thought Id get to see other than on the club's layout. Joe Colossa, the assistant train master that some of you met at load out when the blue train left Austin, is attempting to organize the same deal for the red train. It's possible that it may never happen again so if you want to see it in person, your opportunity is approaching.
