[#ditto] I don't want to make this situation seem more simple than it really is, as I see you are in the process of purchasing a new home etc. I can say that your choice should be well thoght out before you proceed. Stop and make sure you are fully aware of what you are giving up before you jump ship and try something new. Remember, the grasses ALWAYS look greener on the other side of the fence. Also remember that railroading is a lifestyle not a career. As mentioned you will be on the bottom of the spare board, working odd hours and being on-call pretty much 24/7, until you start to build up your years of service. On the other hand, of course, there is room for advancement and making an excellent salary. Threatening layoffs is one thing, being laid off is another. Working for the railroads is an excellent career, you just gotta like what you're doing!
