Hello all I am Rodney I am a conductor/switchman for the BNSF in Galesburg Il. on January first in my terminal they set back 20 of the youngest engineers then a week later they set back another 12 being a first year new hire it was becoming clear that a layoff was comeing I was lucky that I got to turn hard for about 3 months making some good checks per half so I have some money set back some of my friends that are still working have asked me if I could do some work on there house for them as they do not have time as they are on the road I realy enjoy my job with the railroad and would not trade it for anything else yes the hours suck with the phone ringing in the middle of the night getting ordered to go to work but I would not have it any other way besides the biggest share of us was told we would be recalled in the last of Febuary or the first part of March.
