Now that you've had a few days to reconsider, I hope you have elected to have a real life...that is, regular hours; weekends off; day work; time for a girlfriend/wife; hobbies. If you just NEED some form of railroading in your life, I suggest signing up with a daisy-picker excursion railroad for some "fun". If you go CSX or NS or whatever, You are signing your life away; it will belong to them, not you. I suggest you read the article in Trains several months ago about the brief, hectic career of a BNSF conductor. "I'm a railroader" doesn't get it at 3:00 in the morning in the cold, pouring-down rain while you're walking a 100 car train to replace an air hose or knuckle, and you haven't been home long enough for any thing but a shower and sack time in weeks, and the callers office won't let you off, and your knees and ankles are sore from walking on the grapefruit-sized ballast. Whew! I sure hope you think better of a CSX (or NS or BNSF or what ever, they are all the same...) big-time railroad career.
