Disney Railroads Discussion Board

Yeah...there are a few things that they NEVER EVER mention in engineering school, or at least they never did back when I was in college. 1. There is no such thing as "job security" in engineering. The suits and ties (non-engineers) upstairs are really the ones pulling the strings of engine...
