  • Train Man: Richard Bromley

    10/09/2015 Duración: 01h16min

    Richard had no inclination of working for the railroad. Midway through his corporate career, he was musing about the general state of the railroad industry. The same week, by uncanny coincidence, one of his coworkers shared a train conductor recruiting ad in the newspaper (one of those paper publications as nostalgic as trains). He signed up, jumped the corporate ship, started riding the rails and never looked back...except when he needed to examine a hot axle on the 145th car (that's part of his job). Find out how to toot your own (train engine) horn like Richard, here.

Deciding he needed to get back to nature, his next hive found him- attempting to move rent-free into his home.
