Hello Jenny and group my name is Rodney i was hired by the BNSF in Galesburg Il. this year i presently work as a switchman on the switchmans extra list my job is to fill holes in the yard. I grew up on a farm in Illinois spent 16 years in the U.S. Navy and took early retirement in 1995 the only thing i can say is if you like to work outside in good and bad weather go for the job with the railroad it can be enjoyable after my training group got turned loose things were moving slowly then all of a suddan out of nowhere things picked up to the point where i was going to work right on my rest i.e. 8 hours later it can be a culture shock to some people but if your mind is made up you can handle the challange if you decide to try i recomend staying away from primary recall locations because you are locked in for 5 years to that location.
