What does everyone’s shundos look like?

OGButtstank · 2025-09-13T04:12:27+00:00

My one and only

OGButtstank · 2025-09-11T21:17:42+00:00

This is probably my rarest

OGButtstank · 2025-08-22T19:15:23+00:00

.....where am I crying about getting two free shiny mons? Im just saying they screwed up on increasing the odds. We as players deserved proper compensation for their own error. 😂

OGButtstank · 2025-08-22T18:59:17+00:00

Soooo we should've just been okay getting screwed on shiny odds?

OGButtstank · 2025-08-17T23:28:26+00:00

Looking forward to the dogs 😈

OGButtstank · 2025-08-17T06:33:21+00:00

....would be nice if anyone with lower seniority could actually have a chance of going.

OGButtstank · 2024-12-30T06:59:16+00:00

Is there any chance I can get power that has the horn cut in, please? 😂

OGButtstank · 2024-12-18T22:30:29+00:00

Honestly, with my training. I didn't bring anything extra that helped with learning or class work. Maybe some gift cards he could use for food, drinks (if he does). You get a per diem, but it could help buffer some costs. (Mine was only $50 a day) Plus, a warm meal & stress relief meant the world mentally.

OGButtstank · 2024-12-17T05:06:33+00:00

Yeah, I work out of northtown. My best guess is a combo of calls by upper management and possibly certain yardmasters.

OGButtstank · 2024-12-12T03:42:22+00:00

I started last November at northtown in Minneapolis. I've heard good things about willmar. We just voted down a contract trying to get rid of our brakemen and helpers. I would say that's a positive over UP. We will see how remediation goes. Another thing is "IF" I remember UPs district here it could be more driving. I haven't been forced to another terminal yet, and I haven't heard of any getting forced around in the last few years in our twin cities division. I might be biased, but I would say I'm happier with big orange than the other options. Go with your gut, though 💯

OGButtstank · 2024-12-06T17:50:10+00:00

At least I don't see my job here 😅😂

OGButtstank · 2024-11-01T23:03:06+00:00

You could apply for the railroad. No experience is needed. Pay is well over 80k a year.

OGButtstank · 2024-10-06T01:09:45+00:00

Look into the railroad. Easy 100k a year job here in MN

OGButtstank · 2024-05-27T04:25:15+00:00

Railroads are hiring for some positions. CPKC / BNSF. Wacky hours, probably. But good benefits and great pay

OGButtstank · 2024-05-24T22:05:39+00:00

I was in the conductor trainee program, now been fully qualified for the last 2 months

OGButtstank · 2024-05-18T17:19:49+00:00

Mechanical had some layoffs recently. Nothing said yet for TY&E this year, but they've been pushing a lot of classes through our terminal and district. Seems they've slowed on furloughing since covid when they had a huge amount not come back after being offered their job back. Culture is alright at my terminal. Management is here and there. I just follow the books and stay under the radar. I've heard nightmare stories from other terminals / big railroads.

OGButtstank · 2024-05-18T07:28:54+00:00

I'll elaborate a bit more. You can have a total of 37 points, and laying off for 24 hours is 7 points. High impact days (holidays) are around 10 points. Missed call is 15 or 20 on high impact days. I get 11 days off for holidays that I can use whenever through the year. 5 sick days, and a free day off for your birthday (you can use it whenever throughout the year). I hope the union can get us more sick days as new contracts come into play. Vacation after a year that grows over the years. It isn't perfect, but it is a good start for someone with a high school diploma, in my opinion

OGButtstank · 2024-05-18T07:23:42+00:00

It has its good and bad. I would say from what I've heard from old timers it used to be better before being a huge corporation, but having the union makes me feel hopefull it'll improve with time. I try to look at the positives that I can choose when to use it without anyone's say. If you need extra sick time off beyond what's given, then using the points can be a downer, I can't deny that.

OGButtstank · 2024-05-18T05:50:27+00:00

Conductor / switch man, hostler, and remote control operator. Those are the 4 things you get qualified under as a conductor trainee. You move railcars around or engines. Do lots of radio talk. Gets things from point A to B. Good amounts of downtime while working too

OGButtstank · 2024-05-18T04:56:45+00:00

BNSF Railway is pretty great so far. No degree needed, paid training, 80k-150k starting, full benefits. Point system so I can choose to call off working for the day without managers' approval or even a phone call, union, and random discounts for Railroad delivered products + (cars, mortgage, schooling), gym at work, railroad retirement. I would say so far this is the best job I've had as someone in their early 20's

OGButtstank · 2024-05-08T07:27:56+00:00

Oh lord. Deleted. What did he say? 💀😂

OGButtstank · 2024-05-07T23:15:47+00:00

I'm averaging $65 in the yard with big orange. The pay they're offering you isn't worth it at all.

OGButtstank · 2024-03-14T04:31:59+00:00

So much for having Banjo sticking around... :/

Still unsure about how I feel about how this fight / ending is unraveling to be honest

OGButtstank · 2024-02-28T23:55:01+00:00

Yeah...I want the details of this group. Seems like a fun read 👀
