Railroad Model and Historical Association of El Paso, O27 display at
City Council Woman Lily Limon's District 7 Community Connection
Fire and Rail Safety Presentation. 
We met many terrific people, including
a most remarkable young woman, Debra Barnett, a 20 year
veteran locomotive engineer for the Union Pacific Railroad.

Hehe . Nice pun. The one in the title I mean.

The costume was heck to get into. I am cleverly disguised as one
of eight female railroad engineers in current existence.

Gee, I wonder why...
I've only ever seen one female loco engineer. It was at Horseshoe Curve a couple years ago, and guess what train they gave her? The garbage scow Yes, the only female engineer got the only trash train I saw all day. Somehow I think it wasn't a coincidence

| Used to be a female engineer up this way, I don't know what became of her. Retired maybe even by now, it's been a while.

Kamloops, BC... I see about 6-8 female engineers/conductors a year on Canadian Pacific Railway road locomotives. At least half a dozen on switcher loco's, too... besides being brake-personnel.
I guess some of you need to come to Canada to see more females in those treasured high-up job positions.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
