That. Is a really good idea and I want to go. However location might be an issue. 
Unfortunately my local railway company (Queensland Rail) doesn't do stuff like this. They wouldn't even take me on board for work experience last year due to 'Workplace Health & Safety issues'. I ended up spending the time in a clothing store, sorting socks and writing up signs.
However, I'm volunteering on a heritage railway on the 26th. I'll probably be in the signal box sending and receiving bell codes and stuff like that.

Yeah I know what you mean by location. I live in Kalamazoo, about 8 hours south in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. I plan on going to Michigan Tech when I go to college.

Yeah. If you can't catch a train there, you're travelling too far. :hehe:I'd say that's a bit far

I'd actually put you closer to 9 hours pushing the law, 11 taking it easy, and overnight if it gets bad.
I can confirm Dr. Pasi Lautala, Dr. Bill Sproule, and David Nelson know what they are talking about, and participation has not stopped growing.
What degree? A firm recommendation from me is to take 1 year at a community college, and then transfer credits (make sure you get that AP stuff). Minimum 1 year on-campus residency, and be prepared to end up a "super-senior".
