This is a short story about a single trip during my eight year railroading career. This trip occured during my locomotive engineer training and was the trip that would determine whether or not I would be promoted to locomotive engineer. The story gives some insight as to what it is like working as a locomotive engineer and taking a train down Sand patch grade.

I worked for CSX railroad for almost eight years; first as a conductor and then as a locomotive engineer. I despised the company and their practices and so gave up my career there to enroll in college. Finished one year and made honors for the first time in my life. Even so, decided to quit college and join the army as an infantryman. On to more exciting things I guess...I made this book public not because it's some awesome book, but just in case I don't come home alive. I can share one of my railroading experiences at least.
