[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 3788656, member: 13921"] That is not all the current openings. Here in Mn, there are hiring bonuses of $20k at rural terminals and $10k at Northtown for conductors. There are also openings all along the Hi line (Hwy 2) across MT. I would think that working for the railroad would be like being on the extra board in feeders. We do not work some holidays, the rr is 24/7/365. I have several cousins that retired from the BNSF. Both worked until they could hold a yard job, worked the yard job until the saw retirement and then went on the extra board to stuff their bank accounts. If the OP is only making $90k, then he/she is not working very hard. My cousin retired 10 years ago, working out of the KC terminal and was over $130k/yr when he retired. I cannot remember how much vacation he had, but he always took November off. [/QUOTE]
