Try looking into the car dept or diesel shop. The hours are more steady and you can get on a set shift. I recently helped my brother get into the diesel shop and do far he loves it. ---

Ohh. Still expect 30 + years though of working for a railroad though. You won’t be paying into social security anymore either since you’ll be a federally governed employee. IMO though this pension is way better then a SS anyways. ---
