This may come as a shock, but there are things about my job that I do not like to do (spoiler alert: an Excel spreadsheet is usually involved). However, on the flip side of the coin, are the aspects of work that still get my blood pumping and put a little pep in my step.

I always credited a true team atmosphere as the promoter of this passion. A lot of tasks, and when we reference the maintenance side, most tasks, require more than one person to be accomplished. The railroads work because of their team or they won't work at all.
