You say “Sippy what?!” Sippy Cup!
Yeah, well that’s our diminutive for our colleague Ryan Reierson.
Yup. Lilliputian and livin' the dream while breakin’ off his
nineteenth year of life on his way to becoming a certified Locomotive
Engineer under the watchful tutelage of Steven Welch. Ryan's in
charge of Eastern Washington Gateway train HL20 with some 50 Big Bend
grain-loaded PS2’s, ACF’s and a couple of BNSF hoppers in tow,
takin’ the ruling 1.0-1.2% of Wilbur Hill with 10,200 horses out
front. No worries. He’s got this. Regardless of his stature, he is
respected for his quiet, good-natured manner, and professional work
ethic making him an integral part of the EWG Brotherhood. I bet he’s
standin’ tall inside right now! Who of us wouldn’t be: runnin’
a venerable former Cotton Belt SD40T-2 in notch eight biting into the
railhead, amp meter buried doing under a dime? Roger that?
