Post Body

Basically, any transport industry works 'round the clock,' be it airlines, trucking, or railroads. Being an extra-board junkie, I understand it from the inside. The railroad is a complex animal that has evolved through over a century of tradition, and exists in a universe all it's own. Labor laws that apply everywhere else seem to be of no effect here...long ago, the railroads worked out their own sets of rules with the federal government. One example is that we have our own "social security" system (railroad retirement taxes).
