Dude, you just don't get it. What you wrote before I emailed you and said take a LONG AND HARD look at your current situation and see if you are willing to change that. The railroad is all about SENIORITY and just getting hired you will have none. You will be traveling away from home hundreds of miles when you work and no that don't pay for it. You will be cut off in slow times I.E. winter... and you won't have enough in for any kind of unemployment pay. I can tell form what you have written you will not cut it, what was written in your 1 thru whatever is pretty much true. You need to go to a yard and talk to the people who do the works and quit listening to the railbuffs and the friends of friends who have posted. By the way holidays, family get togethers and working 30 days a month every 8 hours, that is NOT A LIE, get used to it. If you are a young single guy, give it a shot, you don't have anything to lose, but once again remember the key word, SENIORITY, and no matter what the UP management you interview tell you, once you are hired you will bounce all over hell and you will soon find out. In answer to your latest question, yes, RR'rs do have homes, wives, kids, etc., they just often aren't the ones who get to enjoy them. SENIORITY!!!
