On the operating side, railroading is not a job it is a LIFE STYLE. <br /> <br />Not everyone is up to living the railroad life style. <br /> <br />Those in the rail industry hear all the time about nepotisim, and all those allegations are in the negative context. The reality is that nepotism pre-conditions the younger generation to the committments that taking operating positions is all about and the sons and daughters of railroader, if they desire working for the railroads, will stay around and become life long rail empoyees themselves. There is currently a tremendous turn over among newly hired train service employees, who get hired, complete the training, begin protecting their turn and come to the realization that they are not cut out for the life style and its committments. So the hiring merry-go-round commences all over again to fill vacant Train Service positions.
