Pacific Railroad

Union Pacific RailRoad Conductor, can they obtain internet access on their laptops in the cab?

Does the cab have a hook up or could a person use a wireless connection and take their laptop? I ask b/c I am thinking seriously about taking a conductor job and this will be a major source of entertainment in the cab. Also , is there a convient spot to lay the laptop and say watch a ball game or are you pretty much confined to resting it on your lap? thanks

Radios, TV, laptops, all forbidden. When on the train, you’re not there to be entertained. You are working.

Not only that, you are responsible for the safety of your train and the public. Vigilance is paramount to the safe conduct of your train. You cannot be on the lookout with your nose pasted against a monitor screen.

If caught. you can entertain yourself with your laptop in the unemployment line…

Railroading is not a game. It is a hot/cold, exhausting, demanding job with awesome responsibility attached. Screw up out there and people don’t get the wrong size of French fries with their order.

They die…

Union Pacific [VHS] $14.98 “The legend of Union Pacific is the drama of a nation, young, tough, prodigal and invincible, conquering with an iron highroad the endless reaches of the West.” This stemwinder of a foreword strikes the pseudo-biblical/American Empire keynote for Cecil B.
