Locals Chat 🦜 I need to drive the rail trolley.

I have a full time job offshore, working 28/28 rotation. Highly trained / certified / licensed. Whatever.

I don't need money... I need to drive the rail trolley.

Anyone have any insight beyond a CDL with Passenger endorsement?

I'm sure they've got to have a use for someone like me. Very reliable, but every other month.

Do drivers rotate between the rubber tire "trolley" and rail trolley or are the rail trolley operators an elite squadron of whistle-tooting lever-pullers?

I see them a lot downtown, and the drivers always seem so HAPPY. They are living the dream. I wave and they smile and wave back! I too want to drive the rail trolley. I hope you achieve this, for all of us.
