About Deadhead Departure
Keep a watchful eye on the needs of the train and those on it, there is always something in need of your attention. Failing could have severe consequences throughout the entire train. One mistake can spiral out of control and leave many disappointed.
Every pull of a lever, turn of a wrench, and scrub with a sponge responds actively to your input. No matter the task at hand, your interactions are all tactile, letting you be in control and really step into your role.
Use the right tool and the right skill for the right job. Find better tools and upgrade the machinery. Replace that sponge with a mop, or why not a faster engine? Make your time more efficient to have more left over for… other work.
Everyone wants something, especially from you, but you can’t please everyone. Who do you prioritise? The passengers? Your employer? You? Something else entirely? Who gets their way when all wills oppose each other?
No matter how you try, you cannot be everywhere. While you cracked the code to the locker, a passenger had a horrible accident. Had you saved the passenger, you would not have experienced what happened two carts back. Start another journey to see what you missed.
