I am 24 years old and just recently hired on with a class 1 railroad. My whole life all I have wanted to do was work for the railroad. A couple of friends who are engineers for the UP warned me the whole time I was trying to get hired; I could have a life or I could work on the railroad but I could not have both. I enjoy the work that I do but I do have blow off many social activities that I once was apart of. The nice thing about the terminal I work out of is we have a rest cycle so every seven days I get three off. Many nights I am gone and many of my trips last near 12 hours. My biggest fear is if I ever do have a family how I will make time for them. I have much respect to the railroaders who make there family life work.
