Hello All. I was surfing the other day and found this site and this topic. My husband works for BNSF. I just wanted to let the ones know that are interested in a railroad job that everything that these men have said about it is true. The money and insurance are great, but the homelife does suffer. Luckily, my son is only two. I am hoping in the next few years, our lives are more settled and in one location. We have moved too many times to count because my husband refuses to be furloughed....we are just like any other family and has bills, the money has to keep coming in. As far as the extra board, pool jobs, regular jobs, etc...the extra board is nice with the guaranteed pay, but sometimes you only work once a week. Then, its nice for me. We can actually feel like a family, until the phone rings. :) My husband is constantly bidding for the other jobs. Sometimes he lucks out. I understand his work life and am patient with him. I know I have to be to keep us strong and together. But, you know, its a joint effort. He talks about others and their lives and the infidelity that is associated with the job. Yes, I have to admit that it has crossed my mind that it could happen. When I have asked him about it, his response is, I know what I have at home. I realize that the majority of people here are men and sorry for the intrusion, but I just thought you would want to hear an opinion from a wife of a person that works for the railroad. Thanks. TW
