I plan to remain in the railroad field(conductor/engineer) for as long as I possibly can. For the first time in my life, I can honestly say that I enjoy my occupation. The biggest problem with the short line that I work for is pay. Yea, I know it's not everything, but things aren't getting any cheaper and since the company is non union they basically pay us what they want. I realize they have expenses and can't pay everyone the big bucks, but I have expenses too. I was planning to get at least one year in before applying somewhere else. I have been thinking of going with CSX, but everyone talks down on them, saying the company is going down hill;and what if there was a merger? Then what? Then the option of all the other shortlines here in Ga.,a lot of options, so what to do. My guess is that the majority of class 3's pay about the same. So what do you think, try my luck with another shortline or take a chance with CSX? Any advice would be greatly appreaciated.
