Alright guys, since I have been a bit asleep at the switch here, I have responses to several of the posts here.
First of all, I have to agree with Amfleet...I am a physics major with a 3.9 GPA at Illinois State....however, I could imagine working as a train attendant or something like that for a long time, just because I enjoy it...I enjoy the train, I enjoy people...etc, etc.
Then, as for my logo pick....I used to be sad about the new logo, because I too liked the old pointless arrow. But I am starting to come around, now that I see the new rails to the distance logo. It does seem more up to date, especially with the color scheme.
And, as for the things we want to see changed...I saw something ealier in this discussion about the Reno station attendants. Well guess what...I worked the CZ three times this summer....and each time, the attendant(s) were not there....they were sick, so no one else could do it. I had to help the conductors unload about 200 suitcases off of the baggage car (for some tour group we had) just because the station attendant wasn't there. We must have had those streets blocked for at least our legal 10 minutes....maybe even more.
