Just for some of the non railroaders talking about scheduling. I work for a small railroad that has scheduled shifts. Yes, it is very nice to be home everynight. But guess what, its still a railroad, and you still end up working all the time. I have been home every night this week but have put in 70 hours in the last six days and I don't expect to get a day off until late next week. <br /> <br />Yes, scheduling would be great but it is not the all encompassing solution that you want it to be. The bottom line is that no railroad is a 9 to 5 railroad, no matter how hard they try to be. Yes it can be tiring at times. But this is what we are trained for, and this is what the job is about. You can either handle it or you can't. Railraoding is a lifestyle not a career. <br />
