NEARING THE TRESTLE
As you round the bend, the klaxon goes off -
it's a railroad horn the guys use to warn the
others of a train coming through, so they
can get off the tracks and stand clear. It
gives them about 20 seconds, so one
hopes they can move their butts along
with the tune. If not, there could be hell
to pay. I talked to a crew guy one day and
he said if you 'didn't respond' you could
lose your job. I thought that was surely
strange, and they had this guy down good:
corporate ways of thinking and all that.
Hey buddy, you'll lose more than your job.
