I've been working on the railroad, lord you better help me!

Sharon Carlquist is an employee at Metro North Railroad. She been working there for 30 years, starting in a cafe' car. Then she worked her way up to an assistant conductor. Working at a train station can be tough. You need people skills and not having a phobia of being stabbed. And you have to always think about the other people safety and always know what the right thing to do. Like say there was an attack on, oh I don't know on the ~coughs~world trade center~coughs~......~clears throat~....You have to know what to do when some sadistic-bastard-who-is-too-emo-to-get-professional-help decides to blow up some stuff. You need to know what to do. So this job can be really scary when you think about stuff like that. The the paid is really good though. The railroad~not the actual railroad but the people who run it~ pays 90% of the employee health cost and Conductors and yardmasters~sound like D&D thing~ earn about 67,128 dollars!!!! stick that in your pipe and smoke it! Thats not the only jobs in railroad, 80,000 new jobs are horizon over the years.

Now some ending credits music:

I've been working on the railroad
All the live long day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

~SING!!!~

Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn

~SING!!!~

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strumming on the old banjo, and singing

~SING!!!~

Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Strumming on the old banjo
