Going back to work on Monday after being off a year and a half after my neck surgery.
If you get blocked by the train on Barlow give me a wave. (with all your fingers not just with one like everyone else) :lol:

The yardmasters are a thing of the past, We tried centralizing everything to calgary 1 mypm (multi yard process manager) for 3 yards in Edmonton and that dident work so they moved the positions back to the actual locations. I am a OM (operations manager) similar to YM'ing but we are managers. We have gained alot of road jobs for a total of 7 road switchers and 1 pool going to Hardisty. We have about 27 yard jobs all which seem to start at 0600 :( makes my life hell...... compared to CNR Edmonton we are small but my god do we have volume our yard are insane 147% capacity on average, I would drive anyone to drink sittin in the office. Added a little pic of me runnin the unit out of town.

Cool, my bud is the yardmaster (traffic co-ordinator) here, so he's been keeping me up to date while I've been off.

Better add some reef content, :biggrin:
Do you have a tank setup or thinking about it?
