>And, that system of "rank" included the rewards, higher pay for a higher skill set, since you were tested and "promoted" in "rank" to engineer and conductor.... Switching foreman, just had more seniority......everybody on the switching crew was, in theory, supposed to be able to read the damn switchlist...
The only thing I can add is that on the SP, in order to be a yardmaster, or even called for the job extra, you have to have had 306 days working as an engine foreman.
