Pros

Not the hardest work I’ve ever done. Most of the people are awesome to work with. The pay is good sometimes.

Cons

Trainmen & Engineer are treated like the scum of the earth and we’re the one on call all the time and away from home with no schedule only one held accountable for anything that happens on the railroad. The pay like I said was good sometimes the problem is on legitimate claims on Work they want deny them or pay what they want to pay day by day.

Pros

Fair minded and supportive management. Not directly involved in RR management, so did not have the same hours or demands as many do.

Cons

None really--large publicly held company. Working on a contract basis, so can't speak to benefits.
