Ever notice how scheduling can feel like a circus act? Last week, I had a freight train and a passenger train both waiting to head out at noon. Somehow, the freight’s conductor thought ‘priority’ meant he could take a nap while we held the whole line up. Sometimes I think our schedules have a killer sense of humor, just waiting for us to crack up.
It’s wild how train schedules can turn into a comedy of errors! I once saw a passenger train leave before the freight train even woke up. Do you think they have a secret rivalry over who gets to nap on the job?
Scheduling trains feels like putting clowns in charge of the big top! @hharri66, have you ever watched a freight train slowly crawl out of the station as the passenger train is already halfway to its next stop? It’s like they’re playing a game of who can be the biggest delay artist.
I’ve seen that nap time strategy too — ever think they just want to grab a snack before the real work starts?
