NS

I work on R-3 rail gang. Been here six years. We're working in Indiana right now.


Posted by blanketback on 11-07-2011 01:08 AM:

I turned down the railroad due to the traveling. Had a job on a rail gang. Hard to be a father and never be at home though. Lots think i was crazy but being with my children and within driving distance of my family if needed is worth more than money to me.

congrats to you and taft on the win how do you get on the rr i dont mind to travel


Posted by Caleb Wilson on 11-07-2011 02:46 AM:

You got to apply on line is how ns does it the best way is to know someone that's got some pull but if you really want a railroad job and don't mito travel apply to every track laborer signal apprentice job they list and the conductor jobs that are close to where youy live and pray for some luck lol

Hired with Southern in July 72, merged with Norfolk& Western in 78 or 79 to become N&S. Went from a regular job to 20+ deep on the extra board, working brakeman, flagman, or conductor one day a week or less. Took severance pay in December 86. Loved it while I was regular. Extra board sux. Jack Dobson
