I do lots of different jobs for different people at my job which all focused on changing the railway to allow more electric trains to be used. I also am in charge of a team of engineers who are now building the small train you see in the pictures and we will be finishing it in June 18th and testing it in a competition against other small trains. after the competition the train will be used for STEM activities so school student could ride on it when tey visit our depos.
