thanks mick!! should be a great change of pace
 
Congrats, definitely a great job. It took me years too but finally it paid off. What position did you get? Some type of traveling track worker or signalman? I have a friend who works for the Southern. He hired out in Linwood as a locomotive electrician and now he works transportation out of Columbia. I myself work transportation for CSX.

I too went from mowers to trains, it is definitely a change of pace lol.
 
Chris i havent yet lol thats friday not looking forward to it...

And i got hired as a signal man based out of charlotte but ill be on the go leave sunday and come home thursday.

As long as that's the job he stands for, everything in the RR is seniority based. Working out of town is ruff but stick with it, the job I work now I see my wife and kid about 3 hrs a week until my job goes on its off days (6/2). They do pay good though, every week the traveling signal men and MOW workers get like and extra 400-500 dollars for expenses . Only bad part is I know traveling MOW workers for the southern still use camp cars, not sure about signalmen. Not sure what all the jobs are called on the signalman side but they got some good ones and high paying at that. And the introduction to PTC should give you some job security for a long while.
