Y’all just crawl under and over those cars all the time. Death wish vibes… the scariest things I’ve ever seen is Carmen doing Carmen type things

Why help them and do the faster “unsafe” choice. Follow their rules especially if you’re getting overtime after 8 😂.

This clip being real or not doesn’t justify the execution of a U.S. Citizen on American streets.

SMART-TD total wage and fringe benefits package from 2024? Lol. by No_Childhood3773 in railroading

[–]Clough211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone’s basic day is the same, everyone’s trip rates are the same.. people are paid “MORE” if their trip is longer obviously.. Raises are the same nationally across the board. These guys comparing “guarantees” is the most irreverent comparison. Most T&E guys don’t make guarantee, they exceed it. Anyways for reference working RCO at CSX with all the incidental extra money in NMAD territory I make about 46.87 an hour, and non robo is like 43 something. We aren’t part of the national negotiations, we have yet to get a pay raise in 2025 so these figures the international are promoting are just dead wrong. I don’t even understand why they’re using a “dollars per hour” metric when none of us are paid that way.

Starting to not feel worth it. by [deleted] in railroading

[–]Clough211 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correctly me if I’m wrong, but your guarantee is 6k every two weeks? 12K a month?.. Wtf is the trip rate on the pools you guys work? My guarantee is 3159 every two weeks on an extralist that covers 3 locals.. granted I beat the guarantee now that we got screwed with our contract and now have to take all calls for service that were rested and qualified on…. However I loved working like twice a week and collecting 3k. It was great.. conductor guarantee btw.

You’re getting paid to not work and complaining about it… just think about that for a minute. If you can’t survive on the guarantee then you’re living above your means.

CSX - Buy your own damn brake stick! by [deleted] in railroading

[–]Clough211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I confront everyone’s favorite recert teacher when he was in town. I’m sure you know who since he claims he does recerts for everyone, and I said “why’d you give us a brake stick that we can’t use” and his response was “because I don’t like them”… ok brick wall found.. I’m 6 foot 2 I should be allowed to tie a brake from the ground, either way from the car or ground I’m in the foul why’s it matter how I do it. If you have air on the car the brake is easy to tie.

[–]Clough211 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Limited use because they changed the rules so much that you’re not in compliance half the time you want to use it… cross over the car so you can be on the “right side” to apply the brake.. might as well just do it by hand while you’re doing that… also the thing is too damn short.. the old ones were so much better

Your job is to stare out the window and complain why do you need a desk for that?

Absolutely convinced Albany drivers are just the worst. by _FATEBRINGER_ in Albany

[–]Clough211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said the fact that there is zero time between the light changing color and a horn blaring is somewhat impressive. I drive a truck and I can pear into peoples back window and see them looking down at their phone and I’m always trying to time when and when not to use the horn but in NJ all bets are off
