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.

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
