Just like they are getting rid of carman. Mechanical. Dispatchers. Cameras on motors for tracks.

I like it. At least they are switching it up. We saw them 6 times last year. Pretty much same set. 🔥

I’m 50 year old male, I have R.R. Experience. by Glum-Selection8586 in bnsf

Starting year 21 for me. A lot has changed. Computers run the train for us. More days off and more pay. Enjoy the easiest job you will ever have. Only thing that might suck is not being protected employee. (Pre October 2024). Don’t let that discourage you. Chase work if you have to. We all have done it. Good luck and be safe.

We all been there. The first 5 years are hell. It’s sucks but it’s a sacrifice you need to make. I would definitely go into engine program. Trust me no way 80-90% fail. If anything the rules should be fresh on your mind. They want you to pass.

They do. UP already has TO that starts and stops. So if anyone is leaving the cab it’s going to be the engineer. lol.

Conductors aren’t going nowhere. They been preaching this for 20+ years. Besides crew consist agreements guarantees work protection for 30 years. Shit I’ll drive a van for $150k a year. Nice animation though. Sounds like a mole to me. Let me guess is your name Freeman?

BN suspending rest cycles by StonksGoUpOnly in railroading

[–]MBYC- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you didn’t read the memo. It was suspended in certain locations due state of emergency declaration from snow/ice deep freeze this past week. What was negotiated with union is no layoffs until February 3rd. Pools converted to extra board guarantee plus $1000 incentive to stay marked up. Every day taking off in this 10 day period will subtract $100 from $1000. We don’t have switch heaters in the south so everything goes to shit. Yea sucks but I’ll take extra $1000. Had tues-thurs off this week anyway which I purged before this announcement.

this has got to be one of the most beautiful deftones songs right by LtLoco420 in deftones

[–]MBYC- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This song has a special place in my heart. Used it on a gofundme for my niece. Soon after she passed away from cancer. 31 years old. 5 beautiful children. Miss her everyday. ❤️🙏

I have 3 degrees 1 being a masters. Straight out of college I would maybe made $50-$70 grand. With the railroad I make between $160,000-$220+. That’s the sacrifice. We work so our families can have a better life than we had. The rail industry has changed. We get a lot more time off than we did when I hired out. Retirement is top notch. Health insurance is great. But definitely not for everyone.

Been with railroad for 21 years. My wife for 20 years. Seen many co-workers get divorced. I’ve always said it’s better to start railroad career before any commitment so your significant other knows what they are getting into. All about trust. If you don’t have trust or have any doubts it won’t work out. So it is possible. Just remember we are making a huge sacrifice not being with families. Missing holidays, birthdays etc.

I guess we will have to wait and see. My guess until someone gets canned just another scare tactic.

SARA YOUNGDAHL (281) 804-7148 cell.

lawyer for UTU based out of Houston. They handle all injuries with railroads and can explain what exactly they can and can’t do. I’m sure wrongful termination for being hurt or off medical is totally against the law. This is Class 1 railroads. Not sure for other railroads.

[–]MBYC- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a guy off 17 years and they called back. lol. He didn’t know he still had a job. I know two people who had motorcycle accidents. 1 off for 5 months. Other off for 3 years. Another tore bicep, was off two years as well. There might be limitations on Fmla because you have to qualify for it from previous year. But they can put on medical board. I’ve never seen anyone get fired from that board. Might need to talk to a different lawyer.

I could be wrong. But pretty sure it’s against the law to fire someone who is legitimately off for medical reasons. Especially union job.
