Serious Advice from Current Railroaders......

Rusty, if I was just starting out and knowing what I know, I'd seriously consider looking for a local tourist train to work. If you really enjoy railroading, but not the poo-poo [an authentic railroad term much sanitized for the Forum] of it, and you want to spend time with that growing family, maybe that's a way to have your cake and eat it too. Make it a hobby, not a career. With your prior RR experience, somebody'd love to bring you on board. Another option would be an Edblysardrail...an out-and-back whirley-gig that puts you back in your home every night. Again, with your prior experience, a shoo-in. Just stay away from outfits like CSkeetsX...you'll NEVER have enough seniority to hold anything there except another furlough slip. The only reason I can stand it, is because I've been there a very long time.
