I didn’t know so many people were interested in the railroad. Just a few things to add and consider: Yes, the money is VERY GOOD and there is a pension and people with families, benefits are very good. This job has one of the highest divorce rates, mainly because you’re never home. Your lifestyle will change after coming to work here and your life will revolve around the railroad. I can guarantee you will miss important things to you, birthdays, your kids’ sporting events, holidays, etc. I myself have tried the best to find my equal balance with it but it is difficult at times. My father in law has been working with the railroad for many years so my fiance is fully aware of the railroad operates. ---

I am also quite broke. :lol > [@JRubino"](#): > > I can guarantee you will miss important things to you, birthdays, your kids’ sporting events, holidays, etc. I always find some way to avoid these things anyhow, plus I hate sports and don’t have any kids. Sounds good to me. ---
