I hired on as a conductor last June. My kids are pretty much all grown up so the schedule doesn't really affect them. I would think differently if they were younger. Personally, I am rethinking the whole railroad thing. The work is not stable, no matter what they tell you at the railroad. Management (mismanagement) is awful. I have been battling since thanksgiving to get paid. Crew management does whatever it pleases irregardless of your needs. I worked with a guy the other night who couldn't get time off to visit his very ill father. This is during a time when not all of our conductors are even working. Think very hard about your family's happiness. They hopefully will still be there after the railroad is done using you! I will warn you that a very high percentage of my coworkers are divorced. It is a very real risk. Geoff
