The following is an email from one of my instructors Burce. This just shows you how much I have to memorize...sweet!


G’day all,

The quiz next Thursday Feb 9th will be memory testing on all CROR definitions including the definition of TRACK WORK found in CROR Rules for the Protection of Track Units and Track Work. In addition I suggest that you a clear recall and understanding of the definitions for ENGINE, TRACK WORK, TRAIN, YARD, EQUIPMENT and all SPEEDS. All abbreviations are also open for memory recall on the quiz including those CPR definitions discussed in class such as NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, CAUTIONARY LIMITS, SIDING, SWITCH AND STATION NAME SIGN.

There will also be a ten question signal quiz on Rules 405,406, 406A, 407, 407A, 408, 408A, 409, 410, 426, 428 and 429 on Thursday. The signal name and indication must be as shown in CROR. Results of the signal quizzes will be recorded. There will be a ten question signal quiz on each Rules & Regs instructional day. I expect the final 50 question signal exam will be in March. The final exam will be 5% of final grade in Rules and Regulations. Industry standard is 100% in signals exams.

Have a great weekend.

The next update is from good ol' Jade! I'm not going to do word for word, but just a couple highlights.

Leaders Training Retreat in Seattle: March 3-5. I am looking incredibly forward to just going down to Seattle and having some time off away from life, and learning more about becoming a better leader! We apprently are heading down on Friday, and then the confrence is on Saturday. Sunday we are all just going to chill in Seattle and check out the sites and sounds! I've never been to Seattle before so, and going to the USA is rare for me to, so I am truly looking forward to some fun American Youth Leader Time!

Historymaker: Spark, Youth Retreat? We haven't decided on what we are doing yet, however both seem pretty awesome to me! The youth retreat apprently would happen at the original Mount Seymour Cabin! How cool is that?!? Historymaker Spark would be pretty wicked awesome too, and it would be great to get the youth in that kind of environment. I told everyone when I was just a kid, both events were pretty awesome, and that I'll never forget any of them. Honestly, I can't choose between the two.

Mexico?! Oh Snap! A Missions trip to Mexico?! Sign me up! The two major problems is that Graduation might interfere, since it is in late April, early May, and I don't have $800! I honestly would love to go though.


As for Historymaker in its self... I would love to go with RPC as a Leader, however I'm not sure how it will work out with a future career with the railway.

As for me...I've got a funeral to attend tomorrow and a big hockey game afterwards! I shall say goodnight!
