I applied as a freight conductor but put the application on hold when I found out that I'd be on call 24/7 for 15-20 years, according to the HR guy from UP. That seemed like social suicide to me. They only give you 3 hrs. from the time they call you to get to work and you can be called 5 hours after you finish a job. What I wish I knew is a) how many hours/week you work in an average day?, b) how often you get called back within 16 hours of finishing a job? and c) if the person responsible for making the calls can give you an idea of how likely / how soon you will be called back at a given time? Right now I don't understand how any conductor can have any kind of life at all. Any railroaders out there (especially UP conductors) who know? <br /> <br />
