Just to change the subject.

How about those Red Sox?

This was only a couple of years ago.

So like I had said, I'd been in my industry for 20 something years and I got sick of it.

You know, I needed to change a pace.

So I'd seen an ad for railroad and I was like, okay, cool, let's try it.

I started working there.

early 2023 uh by june i had left the union and took a uh supervisor position a night shift supervisor position it was nothing changed for me i was already on night shift anyway i still had kept this to the same two days off um railroad days off a weird i had tuesday wednesday off that was my weekend and when this incident happened was october of 2023

The way the railroad works, you have to have somebody at the tail of the train if you're doing a backwards movement.

And the crew had wanted to get out a little earlier.

So I was like, OK, I'll go protect it.

That's fine.

So I was sitting out in the yard that we had five miles long.

And you have your main line and then they had like a siding line.

And that's where the main railroad company would drop off the train.

We would bring the train into the yard, stack it in five, you know, five car length rows.

And it was all auto racks that unload all the vehicles off it.

And we'd stack the cars back empty, put them back out on the siding for the rail company to come and pick up.

And that would just be a repetitive process day after day after day.

Day Shift was in charge of putting them on the tracks.
