I found a perfectly fresh, half dozen roses lying between the tracks this morning. 2 red 2 yellow and 2 white. I picked them up and gave them to my engineer. He needs to know hes appreciated. We put them in a half full bottle of water and wedged between a sun visor arm and the internal facing camera. Brightened up the locomotive, which is usually drab, dank, dirty and dark and probably a few more D words ive forgotten.

Over the corse of our day, the roses got covered in all the particulates we breath every day. They were half dead by the time we got back. It could of been the drinking water we put them in, or from all the railroad dirt and dust (hey, another D word! ) I wash off every night. We thought it was a sign.. Or a bad omen.. Either way, its not healthy for life forms inside those cabs.

So, the next time someone talks about the romantic whistling of a far off train, just know, we're slowly dying inside of it. Some quicker than others.

Just for the sake of testing the mood of Canadians, how about wearing a red MAGA hat the first day there… and then report back to us…if you’re able…

That would be a "never". However, MB might be kinda MAGA.

But, as a person who is 1/4 blood Canadian and whose grandfather fought with the CEF in WW1, I will be fine.

I hope you have a T-shirt that spells all of that out in detail…because otherwise you’re just another American to them, no???
