My dad does since he is an electronics & communications tech for these people. Sometimes he gets called unexpectedly to do something whether its with radios,AEI- automatic equipment ID systems which use RF tags to ID locomotives & cars & similar systems which monitor various locomotive & car operating conditions, EOT -end of train monitoring & other things that can malfunction or fail. Just today one AEI system lost it's phone line connection.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-19-2008 10:27 PM                     quote: Track-ONE!...
