[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 1557714, member: 56035"] i worked on several railways in canada, and i can tell you the big railways CN and CP are toxic. what happened was the american managerial class immigrated north and ruined our railways. so workers get fired for little or no reason. the safety enforcers will hide on the property and just do the most ridiculous stuff to test you. the killer money is on the road which is 90k a year, and here it was you would go to 4 to 12 hours away, and wait for a train dont know how long like 36 hours, and then take a train back. the guys who retired from CN / CP were getting 60k a year in pension, but i think thats been changed or cut now. i worked at deltaport and it was hte best jobs ive ever done on the other hand. after being on call it was 8 hour days 5 days a week. i worked at 2 smaller railways and the safety wasnt overkill like above it was normal. i was doing 12 hour shifts 4 on 4 off all scheduled at one. i was switching in a yard it was hard work, but u can get promoted to loco engr and then all u have to do is stay awake. go to glassdoor.com and look up the reviews for the railway your interested in. i think if u leave UPS which i am not thrilled about, you will definitely have a worse schedule at a railway [/QUOTE]
