[QUOTE="Serf, post: 1286394, member: 50254"] I will admit. Railroaders live a hard life. One of the guys who is out of a central PA yard said his average day went like this for the first few years. *Almost certainly get a call from the trainmaster in or around 2300-0100 hours. Generally have 2 hours max to get to the yard. Prepare paperwork, do inspections, etc. Take a load out somewhere within the region. It all depended on how far it was. If it was local enough, it meant he would get home in time to sleep in his own bed. If they missed it for whatever reason or it was too far, it meant waiting on a ride to be taken to a motel. Anniversaries, Holidays, weekend evenings...all times when "the call" came in. For me, I don't think for 100k + I could live that life. Not without any semblance of a normal life. Yes. In any job the learning curve is applied. In being a cashier, courier, policeman,IT tech, analyst, etc. It just depends on how steep it is. The department of labor government website is where I took my info from. I am more or less echoing sentiments from what "big brother." [/QUOTE]
