I'd agree with the advice given above regarding a leave of absence or furlough. Something where you can "keep your foot in the door" of your old job before you burn all your bridges behind you. The railroad is so different a job from any other that it's pretty difficult to know how you will like it until you've been in it. The pay you will get depends alot on where you will be working. If you work a major terminal along the transcon, that also has a large number of young employees (I'm referring to seniority, not necessarily age), you could be seeing close to triple-digit income in a few years. 70K or more is probably normal to expect if you work the road and don't layoff too much.
