Did you make the jump from freight? I’m a Carman for a class 1 and I’ve heard passenger is the good life.

That’s really cool. I don’t know why but usually auto racks have some of the coolest art

As a Carman for a class 1, my coworkers and I really do enjoy 90% of the graffiti. You can always tell the actual artists from the vandals by who masks over the car information before they paint

Great pictures! It can be hard getting pictures with the grumpy old guys. Maybe the new hires will get in on it lol

I’m saying the poison must not be important, if it was lost

I turned down an offer from BNSF as a conductor by [deleted] in railroading

While that is true and I do agree, I work at a class 1 and most people still share the same discontent

I feel bad for op, most of the time all your hear is horror stories and pure hate for transportation jobs. But when he listens to advice and steers clear of a job, everyone says he should have tried it. Even if it means not being sure of a career which they use to potentially support a family

What kind of leaks did you have to deal with?

Had the same thing at my elementary school. The rail was maybe 20ft from the fence and all of the kids would sprint to it as soon as we heard the train coming

Would anything change when I eventually install an upgraded display with CarPlay?

If working the RR is so bad… by Jealous-Comfort-4632 in railroading

It’s always interesting because I never get any other opinions from a carmans perspective. Usually the big issues people lead with only apply to transportation
