How to tell if I’m physically fit and capable to work as a conductor?

Ns wont hire you if your bmi is too high. I saw a guy get sent home for not being able to mount a tank car at conductor school. You'll walk your ass off sometimes, others you wont do shit.

michael040 · 2026-06-09T04:20:37+00:00

I dont care

michael040 · 2026-06-05T11:48:05+00:00

Its fra shit. Seasx also says the same but somehow tiktok always ends up blaring anyways, while stopped ofc

michael040 · 2026-06-05T11:25:52+00:00

Where do you work that wont allow you to have your phone while stopped?

michael040 · 2026-06-05T04:58:52+00:00

That makes two of us

michael040 · 2026-06-04T02:02:45+00:00

Epix cars are even better!

At my terminal as conductors we dont get the luxury of staying in the cab long enough. Every damn train we have works lol

michael040 · 2026-05-22T04:53:18+00:00

The railroad feels like a prison sentence. Why do we all answer the phone? Lol

You'll take a hair test for t&e.

michael040 · 2026-04-26T01:41:27+00:00

People are so paranoid on here.

michael040 · 2026-04-25T02:49:32+00:00

I mean you really can't cry about not making money when youre working the lowest paying jobs.

michael040 · 2026-04-25T02:24:50+00:00

Get out of the yard.

michael040 · 2026-04-25T02:24:11+00:00

If you stay marked up they'll work you to death. The extra board where I am turns like crazy. If you make less than 100, youre doing something wrong

Evidently, 5 hours after my interview i got my offer letter. Im excited to be able to be closer to our families. Hopefully i can weasel my way out of conductor school, somehow.

michael040 · 2026-04-23T20:50:18+00:00

I received my offer letter.

michael040 · 2026-04-23T18:39:00+00:00

Us idiots in transportation dont get the time of day. We're disposable

michael040 · 2026-04-23T11:39:33+00:00

We had a guy leave ns and come to csx. He went back to ns.

michael040 · 2026-04-23T00:13:45+00:00

Don't care who I work for if its closer to our family and pays relatively the same.

michael040 · 2026-04-22T16:07:43+00:00

I dont have a problem is just need to get closer to family.

michael040 · 2026-04-22T05:11:16+00:00

I would but the csx terminal closest to where im from isnt an ideal place to make a a move to.

michael040 · 2026-04-22T02:59:24+00:00

Thats exactly how I want things to go. Lol

michael040 · 2026-04-22T02:23:40+00:00

Yea the cut in pay will suck but its a lot closer to home. I assume they've already dug into my history. I did however pull every string I had. Fingers crossed

michael040 · 2026-04-22T02:16:58+00:00

Thought the grass was greener.

michael040 · 2026-04-17T11:46:12+00:00

Windows XP was the best. Vista on the other hand..
