Going on 16 years with csx, hired on when I was 22. Went to engineer school 10 years ago and I’ve been working back and forth between conductor and engineer since. I have good seniority as a conductor but not so much as an engineer. Every Thursday afternoon when the “bids” come out for the following week I find out what I’m working that next week. If you’re not able to adjust to change on a regular basis throughout your career the railroad isn’t for you
Would you choose Amtrak over freight?
@@mimitime7814 As an Amtrak conductor the physical work is easier and you’re not in the elements near as much. As a freight conductor pay is better and you don’t have to deal with drunk or unruly passengers. As far as routine Amtrak would be more consistent, but maybe more time away from home depending on where you work
Don’t forget that “seniority” can be 15+ years away in some terminals. And even then, you don’t know know your “set”schedule for more than a week at a time when you bid on your job.
You’re absolutely right. Somehow I managed to hold a local for almost 3 months lol. After that I just went back to the extraboard
Been on the railroad about a year and a half now, Being on call is definitely the biggest change in life 100% never knowing when your coming or going. Holidays are nonexistent. Can barely ever plan anything with friends or family and if so it's very last minute on your part. If i had kids i probably would not have stayed, i can't imagine having a small child and missing all of the big steps my child/children would make while im out on the road. Im happy Where i am don't plan on going anywhere, It's definitely not a job for everyone, people should do their research before hand for sure.
Remember this: Railroading is a LIFESTYLE! Not a job
Just like trucking, trucking is more flexible. Definitely a lifestyle not a job.
I started 6 years ago as a hostler with plans to move up, either be a conductor or machinist. But after seeing the hours and how long youre away from home i decided against it. Obviously its more money but I’m having so much fun doing what I’m doing, i work 8 hours and go home. Great exercise but yeah working outside can suck sometimes. Road crew type job seems like a perfect job for someone in their 20s who is single and just has a apartment or still lives with their parents. No worries then
Thank you for this!
I'm about to go to this interview with Metro North Commuter Railroad here in NY for Railcar maintenance. I've expressed that I don't mind the long hours and time away from home! I don't mind being on the extra board. And I don't mind the factors of being at the bottom, I plan to put time in!
Good luck
What do you think now?
Do your research and make sure you and your family are on board. Also be careful just because you apply for one city and get the job doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll work there or “hold”. I got lucky to hold my home terminal for my first 6 months marked up and now forced; I’m chasing my seniority meaning I have to work away from home until a spot opens back up.
Thanks! Appreciate the content.
You’re to kind man. Thank you for the support man! Means a lot!
Always Always you do a great video. Thanks, brother.
Appreciate the kind words and the support buddy! Glad you’re finding value here
i watched my kids grow up from the other end of the road.
19 hours is my longest day.
I have been soaking wet, had to ride a 2 mile shove in single digit degree weather, 90% of my callouts are usually between 1 AM and 3 AM. This job is not for everybody. if you don’t mind missing birthdays, anniversaries holidays then go ahead and apply for the job . 32 hours is the longest time I have spent in a hotel. And I missed Thanksgiving with my family.
Yeah, that’s a topic for another video. Only day I have seen them shutdown is Christmas and that’s only for 12-16 hours then it’s dead heads back to AFT and calls to head out of town.
@@Railroad_Talk this past Christmas they shutdown for 24 hours, 8pm Christmas Eve till 8pm Christmas Day. Then deadhead madness lol
30 is mine. Died in a siding waited for a train to come by for almost 9 hours. Then 9 hour deadhead on the second motor. Was the weather bad you ask? Nope, just NS not wanting to call a cab. At least I got to spend all that mandatory rest time at the away from home.
Working on a rail gang and got cut off a few weeks ago. Did a massive cut and slide project. Finished up in Whigum, GA. Heat index was around 115 degrees. Weather is miserable.
good list... dealing with the weather is what stumped me for a time... working in wisconsin the winters are cold, long and brutal... HANDWARMERS are what saved my career
Appreciate the video. Ive been researching the railroad, but, unfortunately, based on the information you provided, I would not be able to handle the job.
I was marked up a week and bid on a job and got it. More than likely nobody wanted due to the off days and we have to shuttle cars to a different railroad, but it’s not bad plus I haven’t gotten rolled yet. By the time PWS hits for conductors seniority is really going to be king at that point.
Dad, brother retired NS conductor everything you said I heard all my life it was good and bad.
I love the channel im a shortline conductor. Could you make a video on car counts?
I'm ngl, I enjoyed working on the railroad. Despite me working On-Call, I loved what I did. I'm an ex UP Freight and Passenger Conductor and I missed railroading badly. I live near Chicago and barely any jobs are being posted by the Class 1s. Ik I can't go back to UP because of "personal reasons." But, it's great that I've got experience and I have an idea on where I should go for my railraod career. I think for me, it would be either go with Amtrak or Metra. Passenger service, I liked. Freight wasn't my best subject in my opinion. If I were to go to Freight, I would go with BNSF, CSXT, CN, or CPKC.
Just to recap, my list on what Joey talked about:
1. Did enjoy working On-Call, working in all wheather conditions, and being away from home a lot even if it means staying away from my siblings and my mom who drives me crazy a lot.
2. Didn't have to worry about furloughs. Thank god.
3. I did like the hours.
4. Ngl when I was a railroader, I was desperate to go to work badly since I did not enjoy being at home a lot.Of course, I do understand the FRA hours of service Law.
5. For anyone that wants to consider working for the railroad, give it a shot. Also, have an idea on what railroad you want to work for whether it 1-3 years with a Class 1, 2, or 3 and then go work a for a Class 1, 2, or 3 as in the rest of your life. My example: I worked for UP and my life long railroad career goal is to work for Amtrak, which I've been despritely trying since 2021.
Sounds like the RxR and the LTL Trucking freight industry have A lot in common long hours away from home strict rules on call 2 hour window random drug testing dangerous work enviroment You have to accept all weather conditions both trades great pay & benefits the nature of both trades have a lot of similarities you must be in excellent physical condition very mentally focused a lot of patience ability to follow instructions impeccably
Nailed it. I would be willing to bet being a truck driver is more dangerous than being a conductor / engineer solely because car traffic and how dangerous some of these drivers are.
Hey you know it both trades are over the top each with its own problems but many simialarities
I’ve been trucking for almost 45 years but I’m interested in all modes of transportation in general,with a particular interest in the folks who actually make the machines move. I’m hoping I can learn about life on the railroad.
Hey brother,
Thank you for making amazing content, and your valuable contribution to the community!
I had a question regarding the furloughs, if I may ask. Is there a certain number of years of service, after which you kind of become "practically immune" to furloughs?
The reasoning I'm trying to analyze is: "If I am able to prioritize employment with the railroad, and find a way to stay afloat when furloughed - then after an X number of years, I can sleep in peace with a 97% certainty that I'll have the job tomorrow."
GET JOB INSURANCE young bucks.
Yes,my husband did the extra broad, road, and finally the yard. You have to find a partner that understands.
My husband has 26 years in he just barely got his seniority in 2021 (#3) high enough for Christmas vacation 22 years later y’all. It’s been a ride.
I just made 1 year with Union Pacific in January. I really like what i do and take pride in it. The road is where the money is but i choose the yard jobs because i can be home everyday. Not sure if the NS yards are the same but at UP we have certain call times for morning, afternoon, and night jobs. On the road you will be away from home a lot , but if your seniority permits you can work in yard and be home everyday.
I have an offer for UP in LA Grande/Nampa. Can you explain more please how the job has treated you? Things to learn? What to expect? Have you had more Good days/bad days? I'm single no kids so ill hit the road at 2am it's all good I'll try it out and see how it goes.
How much did you make in your first year?
can you go see the ns or csx dispatch center for a tour and you can make a video what they do what it looks like in side
I always told guy's thinking about working for the rr to get up at 3am , drive a few hours go back home sleep and wake up and everyone else is at work.
Shoot..... I m ready. Hope I am going soon, I finished the interview, medical, and background, and I am just waiting now. Thank you for your channel.
Same man i just got my start date 3/25 /24 took them a couple months to tell me my start date dont get impatient
@@oppgoblin1358where will you be working from?
@@ZOKA__ Bakersfield California
Being in the military helped me out with this. I’m also a welder by trade to fall back on. I’d like to try being a conductor. I applied yesterday, I believe that they’re going to start hiring in January.
update?
@@sergioaldana8083 nada.
Am mil, welder by trade as well. I’ve considered doing this when I get out of the service
@@saldol9862 Best of luck to you.
brother if you're still.there as a conductor...I'd like to reach out to if that's ok..I have a few questions. ..I'm headed to training soon....get at me
Furloughed for 3 years. Dec 08 to Dec 11, then 6 months in 16, then 2 month in 20.
Man you caught all the bad timing. Hate to hear that glad to hear it was shot lived.
Seems like you got hit with the last market crash in 08, then the implementation of good ole PSR… and then 20 when Covid hit and the carriers shots themselves in the foot. Shesh. You’re a walking modern day history book lol
@@Railroad_Talk Yep, only 22 years to go….
Hearing this makes me glad I just work for a little Class 3 railroad
What's "a little Class 1"? Lol
@@zackbobby5550 Class 3! my fault lol
@@Mnnti. Okay that makes a little more sense I was genuinely confused haha.
What I define railroading as:
A unpredictable pros and cons based career that is also fair if you dont break the rules and obey their safety protocols and regulations.
they can lay you off anytime too it seems based on their 2020 catastrophe
Seniority rules and most are on extra boards for years, so don't think you'll be on a regular schedule any time soon. Due to job cuts most places only have a handful of regular jobs, so the chances of holding a job with weekends off are slim to none!
There's good jobs in other crafts on the RR. I spent 38 years in the signal department. Retired at 60 and definitely would do it again
Is that the same thing as signal maintainer? Is it for entry level? Home everyday? Opening available near me
You might be able to start as a maintainer. Definitely home every night
LOL last big one furlough I work as trackman MOW I started in April 2023 and haven’t worked in 6 weeks and not even furloughed yet well not that I know of
Hallcon Drivers, are under the same working conditions.
Without a Basic Day claim,if we don't work we don't get paid.
How long should I hear from someone after taking my DOT physical? I’m processing for Norfolk Southern
Currently in trucking school with my CDL permit and CSX just emailed me for an interview. Reading all these comments got me iffy about the RR. My brother is in ATL training as we speak and loves it. The money sounds good. My kids are 12 and 13 and my wife has a good job. I’m just trying to figure out if I should try it. I will have my
CDL to fall back on. Every comment is discouraging. Is it really that bad? Dang! It seems like everyone hates their job! I’m interviewing virtually tonight.
The railroad is what you make it out to be. I loved my job but I also understood where everyone was coming from and still do when they tell you to run and never work there lol.
However, this is just my opinion.. how the trucking market is doing worries me and how the rail industry is doing looks promising. BUT that can change very quickly is the federal reserve start to cut interest rates soon. I still encourage people to try it and you have a solid plan B if it’s not for you
Working on year 6 now, and I'm here to tell you, shortline life is way better. I started on a Class 3, and now I'm on a Class 2 till I retire. Yes the extra board is still on call, extra trains are still running, and dog catching still happens, plus all the shitty weather. However! For all the important stuff, its significantly better. I'm home every single night, and if I need a day off for anything, you get them no problem. Hotels? Basically never. The only time youd be in one here is when your first hire out to learn jobs at an away terminal. Long days, you bet. I've done plenty of those too, getting to the destination and waiting for a multi-hour long cab ride back home. Plus the pay is still good. Besides being in medicine, my railroad is still the best paying job around. Forget the misery of Class 1 life, and find a short line
What Class II rail line are you working?
When I was a ct and doing ojt I was on a coal train that goes to a very remote place no van or cars could get to us we had to go light power as far as we could but no van could get to us the had to send a local crew to come get use by the time the local crew got to us it took an hour to get the air hose together there was so much snow built up on the plows I was on duty 20 hours that day after that I make sure I have atleast a days worth of food and change of clothes with me
I recently been given a tentative start date of Dec 4. I would like to get a head start on studying for the conductor test. Do you have any suggestion on finding materials to do that.
do you have anytips for a CT who got fired tryna go to another company, should i include my previous RR company on my application
During those times that you have to wait for a replacement crew and they end up taking a long time to get to you, what are you doing/able to do while waiting. I'm assuming they are still paying you, but are you able to take a book and read while waiting? I'd imagine they wouldn't like us to use our phones at any point while on the train. Thanks for the video. It's super helpful.
Depends on the carrier. From my understanding CSX has a zero phone policy as where NS you can use your phone as long as the straight is stopped. A lot of people read, nap, talk whatever to pass the time. I had pizza delivered to me one day 🤣.
CSX conductor here. As long as your train is not moving, you can be on your phone. I suggest purchasing a mophie to keep in your grip.
I’m currently a paramedic and have worked in EMS for 7yrs. I’m in the midwest and have worked in every element imaginable. Anyways, I’m feeling like a change and my friend pointed me in the railroad direction. It seems like it would be a very interesting and rewarding career with great benefits and pay. I assume it would be smart to stay a paramedic part time due to the possibility of furlough?
yes or just hope not to get laid off
I have a interview tomorrow with NS…
So not like being the conductor on the 1300 Poole to London Waterloo or the 1245 Cardiff Central to Nottingham?
In the UK, at least for main passenger there is no "on-call", instead there are "spares". Charter and freight may well be more like as you say.
Hi do you know anything about the Louisville and Indiana railroad, and how they do things?
Great video! May I ask, what would happen if you don't answer the phone when they call you to work?
They will call you again a few mins later. If you don’t answer the second time they will move on to the next conductor and you have to answer for what happened. Most of the time you’re wrote up unless you have a great excuse
@@Railroad_Talk Makes sense
My daughter is applying to NS for Mechanical Supervising training. This is so helpful. She is just graduating in industrial engineering. Wondering if this is a really bad idea.
I don’t have any experience being in a leadership role for a class 1 railroad. However I’m sure she will learn a lot and make good money doing it and with the experience she learns there could catapult her into something much bigger. I wish her the best!
Thanks! She has been interning with the South Shore Commuter Rail out of Chicago and is president of the Purdue Railroad Club. She loves trains. Hopefully this will be a challenging a positive experience if she gets the chance. Thanks!
Did she land the management trainee role?
Do you have to live where the RR youre gonna work for HQ located?
I’m ready… I’m heading for training September 11 of 2023.
Right on! Good luck!
What do you think of it?
I love it. I’m almost done with my on the job training.
It's Ai proof for now which is nice.
Q. What health concerns will cause someone to be dismissed?
How would you rank every class 1 railroad as far as pay and the chances of being furloughed
Currently work for csx (2 years) avgerage about 3k after taxes each pay check and havent been furloughed and no signs of being furloughed anytime soon as it seems they still have a lot of people curently training
I just recently applied to Bnsf for a conductor trainee position . How long are the applications usually under review before the interview stage? Huge fan of the channel btw👍🏻
Man it’s hard to tell, sometimes it’s only a few weeks and it could be a few months.. all railroaders have a saying.. “hurry up and wait” 🤣
@@Railroad_Talk thx man
@@loganprice6708 sorry for the delayed response buddy. Playing catch-up!
I have a serious question, I’m 26 I have to see a pain management doc due to having sciatica and some other back issues. I passed everything they didn’t say much of why I was disqualified can I reapply or will they tell me why I didn’t get the job? Im just trying to get some answers from someone, I already work a harder job then this so I’m just a little upset with the way they didn’t give me a chance. If anyone can respond to this that would be great, I have glasses and some pre-existing conditions and just not sure why they didn’t hire me. Maybe it’s because I’m prescribed opioids for pain issues but that’s just for maitenece of the problems.
This video made me excited to join, just waiting rn. I applied like 22 days ago and my application says " to be reviewed "
Mine has said "to be reviewed' since May 24th😑
@@adorph7911 maybe that's their way of telling us "denied" idk
@@TianLong72k I applied for the same position again on september 11th as it has became available again. So we'll see. Just be patient. If this is something you really wanrt to do you womt give up on it. I have actually applied for 6 positions at CSX and nothing has came to fruition! Still keeping my hopes up though.
i always wanna know like lets just say csx i025 jax to chicago how manny crews does that take ti get its rain there
where you on a long haul train that takes 3 days to get to the yard but got off the train and is it possiblw can the 1st crew stay on the train all the way and ride with the other crews to get it there
I’m a Marine veteran and I did the phone interview and will have an interview next week. I know the work is hard but is it possible for a 25 year old to join?
I didn't think they stopped for lighting.
If you’re switching or working in the yard. If you’re on the road then you don’t stop unless a tornado warning and it’s going to cross the tracks.
how is to become a train engineer?i'm always interesting about a train or railroad,i'm from Indonesia but i want to be a train engineer in US
Hey brother, thank you for the informative videos. I'm English and recently moved to the US from the UK and I want to apply for train crew work with BN or UP in Wyoming. I was wondering if it is common for foreigners to work as railroaders, and also is my background likely to make any negative difference in either the application process or the career itself? Thanks in advance
Hey Ed! We have strict discrimination laws here in the states. An employer cant turn you down due to you being from the UK. As long as your background is good and whatever else may be needed you should be good to go. If anything else is needed BN or UP will reach out by email more than likely requesting whatever it is they’re after. Welcome to the states! I wish you the best and always here if you have questions.
I wouldn't worry about it. Where I'm at we have a bunch vietnamese and Korean guys, few of them don't speak good English and they got hired. No idea if there's any kinda requirements like having to live in country so many years or anything.
@@JoeFpoc thanks 🙏🏼 reassuring to hear. You working shortline or class one RR?
You'll be ok. The class 1 I work for recently began hiring degenerates and felons because they're so desperate for conductors.
What’s your opinion on CPKC railroad company?
Moving to otj next week for NS my schedule says ex pool with a job code for road switcher what is road switching?
Typically longer runs that locals but you’re basically going to service customers that are further than normal then you should come back home. Things could be different at your terminal this is just my guess lol
Whats your thoughts on someone thats never been married and no kids an have operated heavy equipment for 23 years and used to workout 12 ta 14 hours a day
Great opportunity for sure. You will have a lot less stress than most with kids and wife or husband at home lol
That is true.
I have passed the background check and drug screening for CSX my projected start date was the 20th of this month. What I am asking is has anyone herd of them stopping training for the time being as they revamp there training procedures and processes?
You never know what they will.tell you. They will tell you anything.
I just figured because of the was 4 weeks training now switching to 5 weeks and the current accidents with the new conductors if they have stopped training for the time being.
@@brandonkreis4981 I’m sure they will get pushed back with the 5 week training and I’m sure the FRA and STB are looking heavily into their curriculum. The waiting games sucks, hopefully they’ll call you soon. Hope the channel has helped you before you head off to school buddy.
@@Railroad_Talk thanks for your input!
I just back got back from redi. They added a nother week for the next class and they have classes scheduled.for every Monday
Is furlough common at priority locations? I start class next Monday in Georgia, and my home terminal will be Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Ft Wayne or Garrett?
@@TallifTallonbrook Fort Wayne, I didn't know they had one in Garrett.
@@MrsGreen173 NS is Ft Wayne, CSX is Garrett
@TallifTallonbrook I see. It's definitely NS.
Ms Stephanee Brown: Furlough can be a possibility. Our industry is one of feast or famine - in fact you can get a feel for how the economy is doing just by how much freight is moving on the rails.
If the new operation of railroads is called Precision Schedule Railroading, why can’t management regularly schedule their employees?
Valid question..
They want u to come to work when it’s good for them !
Gotta question, I recently applied for a NS conductor position in Cleveland. I was supposed to have a interview today from 3:40 to 4:00 pm unfortunately I never received the link for Microsoft teams through my email. What do you think my next steps should be. I messaged a talent acquisition specialist on linked in called Taijee McDowell. Hoping that helps
Send an email to hrhelpdesk@nscorp.com also and let them know you never received an email. Hopefully they’ll get back to you within a few days.
So if you are laid off for 6 months or let’s say for a year, does that time not count towards retirement?
No. That's why you will hear a lot of old heads say 26-27 is a good time to hire in. Gives you time to be fired, or furloughed but still have your 30 years in by the time you're 60.
I’ve been contemplating getting my CDL or going to work on the railroad, but my parents keep pushing me to get my bachelor’s degree in a field I don’t really want to go into. I’m 19 years old not a huge build physically but I can lift certain stuff, would I fit better as a railroad conductor or truck driver? The home life stuff doesn’t affect me since I’m not in a relationship
Fit? I have a MBA and I work in the RR as a track dog. My MBA will get me 50k a year maybe and cost me 9 years to get while serving in the USMC. I make double that. We don't lift a whole lot anymore. Just remember we have machines we are not the machine. Don't limit yourself to conductor apply for everything they got. I have my CDL and I driving truck now sucks IMHO. Gov has way too many hands in it now. It may take a year or more to get hired. If your parents are footing the bill go to school while you apply.
But I am just a random guy on the internet. You have to do what is best for you..
I have my CDL and I’m actually on the road as I send this message. I have a degree in culinary arts, but I love traveling. I’m actually going to conductor training on the 5th of September, if I don’t like it, I still have my CDL and my degree. Nothing wrong with having contingencies.
Depends what you plan on doing. Both jobs can be pretty physical. If you're just hook and haul on the RR you should be fine, but you might not be suited to yard jobs or road switchers where you're throwing switches, aligning drawbars, and throwing on handbrakes all day (with the upside of sleeping in your own bed every night). Lot's of guys start training and they are in for a miserable awakening. The important thing is you can always improve, if you're lacking physically you can always get stronger.
My opinion, don't join the railroad until you're 25-30, you have to have worked there 30 years and be 60 years old to retire so I'd suggest learning work in other fields before dedicating so much time to the railroad
I’m a heavy haul trucker I’ve been thinking about getting on with the railroad as a conductor. I have a serious question do they discriminate against truck drivers and is their any rigorous test I have to go through. I’m 29 trying to do a career change with a little bit of leg room.
No not that I’m aware of, I never herd anyone say anything bad about truck drivers. You all do the same thing and that’s move freight and you can’t have one without the other. As far as test, you will have test and training. Rules test, signals test, hazmat test are a few. But the company’s set you up to pass by giving you all the info that’s on the test but you have to want it in order to pass.
@@Railroad_Talk gotcha brother love the content.
@@sonofatlas1372 my pleasure buddy. Glad you have found value here! Always here if you have any questions brother. Stay safe
Does anyone have any leads to what railroad skilled trades lifestyles are like? Electricians, signal… etc. Seems like railroad life and in depth videos are mainly on conductors, engineers, or track guys. I hear a lot of the other maintenance guys are set hours and a very predictable work life balance. Any truth and leads to that?
Yes, from my understanding signal maintainers do work on call sometimes but you’re home everyday, company vehicle.
@@Railroad_Talk Roger that. In your opinion or from your experiences talking with others… 1) What’s the best railroad to work for? & 2) What’s the best job in the railroad industry for overall balance in wages, home life, and job satisfaction?
How long does it usually take them to give you a start date? Im currently waiting on a start date now
Depends on the demand at your terminal from my understanding. I would say the average time is somewhere between 4-8 weeks for a start date.
@@Railroad_Talk down here in valdosta, not sure their demand
@@KobiZyn looks like Valdosta is a smaller yard compared to Macon and Atlanta of course. But you never know they may need you pretty quick. I wish their system was better and gave you a start date when medical and all of that clears.
I can walk the ballast, I can lace air hoses, I can throw switches, I can set hand brakes, I can ride the cars, I can pass all the written tests, I don’t care about being on call, I don’t care about missing holidays. But, I gotta get through the damn hang test.😢 I’ve been hanging on a pull up bar to try to train for it, but when I’m hanging with one arm and swinging the lantern, after about a minute my arm starts to burn, and my legs start shaking. I lift weights, I’ve done back breaking manual labor for most of my life, so I can’t figure out why I have so much trouble with this thing. Maybe it’s all in my head because I’m so worried about it.😊
Ref #4 it’s ok…when it’s not sunny and 75 just throw on Joe Nichols..oh wait you can’t because we’re treated like children in middle school who can’t be trusted with phones
Love working on the rail. What he saying this isn’t accurate and not all companies operate this way💯 we don’t have no extra board here at GLX everybody Eating
My channel is focused on class 1s only because that’s what I have experienced personally. There are a lot of guys and girls on here that speak highly of their short lines and this video wasn’t meant to come off as me bashing any short lines. Love to hear you guys have a better work life balance and are making those Benjamin’s!
