I wish when started on the railroad back in the 90s that there was a person like you and railroad talk to guide me through the ups and downs of the industry I would have saved a lot of money may God bless you and your family

This really is some darn good life & work advice that even extends beyond railroading. Thanks for all you do for everyone in your outreach!

I have done all 4. I was going to get furloughed and the railroad came out with a mercenary deal at my terminal. The hotel at the time was probably the most difficult. It had no refrigerator n the room and no laundry facilities. Plus I took the flight there and had no czr. I did the roommate sharing a 3 bedroom apartment with 8 other co-workers. I did a studio apartment that was nice till it came time to leave on a whim and having to load the truck. The best option was the camper. You pull in hook up and everything was right there.when it was time to leave pull the hoses and cords and highball.

A cabin with a fridge and a microwave and an AC unit doesn't sound rustic that sounds like a nice cabin!

Having a supportive, empathetic and selfless significant partner will make chasing work a whole lot smoother as well!! Good luck ladies and fellas!! It’s going to get greater later! 😉

Hey I wanted to ask you since you been to Montana and worked bn side if I bump to bn or the Pacific Northwest will I be on the bottom of seniority like if I was new on the Santa Fe side I know they don’t go by the NH99 roster

Hello sir, I am wanting to know what work OTJ is like as a conductor. I received my final offer not to long ago and I am worried about being a female conductor and the physical requirements of the job. Don’t really know what I am getting myself into but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity I’m looking forward to!

You forgot to mention that Santa Fe and bn have different contracts and sometimes you may work for free up to 2 weeks in another terminal doing familiarization. Example CBNQ compared to BNSF.

Could they make cuts to where you cant hold anywhere in the system

[rhallanger]

I’d like to see an episode about LETP. Another way to avoid furloughs or being forced out of town for 20 weeks.

If I become a conductor, will I still have time to go to the gym?

[maugust]

[DireReplay]

How many years in do you need to be able to chase work for track maintenance for bnsf

[demarcuslyles]

You mean to tell me, for 5 years, you've been chasing work??

[Xaul]

Small class 1 and only 1 terminL in our contract, furlough will hurt.

[lutcher]

Where do I go to research about terminals and see if they adding spots or taking away spots? I start in June as a conductor trainee primary recall. If the job calls for a hiring bonus do you think it is a good idea to go with the bonus? @Rails Tails & Trails

Does BNSF have system wide seniority?

If you borrow out where they need employees, can you stay if other people get furloughed where you came from?

Or can you swap seniority to that area?
