Never knowing if you're going to get called to work at any random time. Being furloughed is normal. First 5 years or so sucks, etc. Wow, sounds awfully tempting 😂

    It’s what you make of it. 12 years as a conductor so far. It’s definitely not for everyone. I enjoy the job. Make a lot of money with only high school diploma. Benefits are great, good retirement at the end. Takes care of my family very well. But yes definitely are negatives. Miss a lot of family things, holidays birthdays all true. Sucks when you lay down to sleep and the phone rings to get up and go to work. It is what it is though definitely not for everyone that’s for sure. It’s for me though I don’t mind most of it anyway

    At first i had a dream to run the trains with the UP. But I attended trade school, obtained my associates in diesel technology. And a good thing i did because now i am working at a contractor shop on locomotives. 60 percent of our work comes from the UP if the local Fleet shop gets backlogged, we get that backlog. I knew multiple friends who work for the UP and they had given me 2 options personal life or the UPRR. I decided to go personal life and got a skilled trade learned. Yet getting educated in diesel tech, you can work on the railroad with a steady workflow and have a set shift 100 percent of the time

    From an actually UP employee, I'm surprised at the level of honesty here. If you're looking to hire for the railroad, listen very closely to all the negatives, cuz theres a lot especially when you are new. Furloughes, bumps, being away from home, working odd hours and stress are just SOME of the negatives. Managers are always looking to fire you, the UP really doesnt give a single fuck about you. The unions seam like they are always making deals with UP for the benefit of UP and not their own people. Some of the people you work with are actual scum of the earth and will treat you like you're dirt, while others are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. You can make a lot of money yes, but it ain't free and to some people, the sacrifices they make outweigh the benefits in the end. Be safe out there.

    Bill Perri It's not that loud all the time, but it can get loud before you know what happened. It doesn't matter though, it's a rule! Mechanical people wear hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, and steel toed lace up boots at all times unless in a designated non PPE area. Train crews wear a safety vest ( as do mechanical people working around live tracks ), safety glasses, hearing protection, and steel toed lace up boots. It's a critical rule violation to get caught without any one of those items while working.

It's just a matter of cost and time. It is much easier to do this with trains than cars or trucks considering you have fixed rail paths and central communication rather than an "open" road system, and we are already heading there on the road. For trains, first it will be one-man crews, then full automation. There's a good chance some of the design and programming for such systems will be done abroad, so in a sense the railroad will be outsourced. It's sad, but it's the future... of everything.
