I would give it a chance. You will either love it or hate it. If you hate it, get out. I did it three times. Started as maintance of way for C&O in 1967. While I was working I would see these trains go by with the guys laid back. I thought that would be more enjoyable work. Went to work for N&W in 1968, as a brakeman. Worked to Peru, Ind. Back then we were governed by the 16 hr. law. Sometimes it would take darn near the 16 to go 183 miles. Also, ran to Lima, OH. sometimes do it in under 2 hrs. You can never tell. Its a good job, good pay, and alot of crap from the officials. Like I said you'll either love it or hate it. But you should give it a shot. You will hate yourself if you don't. Its not a good job if your married, unless you work in the yard at your home terminal all the time. If you work the road, it will definately put a strain on your marriage. Unless, she knows what to expect. Go for it! BPtrainwreck
