# About me
I'm a 28-year-old self-employed female of mixed-racial background, currently residing in the western suburbs of Chicago, IL, USA. I've lived in this region all of my life. Hopefully sometime soon, I'll join the railroad industry, en route to becoming a locomotive engineer. I love trains a lot! My most favorite trains are Metra trains, and my most favorite locomotive of all is METX #210. I grew up within walking distance of four railroads on the westside of Chicago, so I've been around trains almost all of my life. I've been planning on becoming a member of deviantart for some time, but never got the opportunity to do so until today. Some of the artwork you will see from me will involve trains, or random drawings that I've done in the past.# Comments

Unfortunately, it's hard to get in because the hiring personnel are so picky. I knew that beforehand, but I took my chances. I will reapply soon. Go to the websites of the railroads that serve your area and see if they are hiring, and for what positions. Hopefully you will find something that interests you. Good luck!

It's no secret. Many people, including those in the railroad industry, already know how tight my connection to this locomotive truly is.

Highly unlikely. Plus I have friends who work at several railroads that do want to get me in. The only problem. I don't have a driver's license, what most railroad jobs require.
