Almost a year and a half in mechanical. Looking for deferent job. Too much work not enough pay. Pretty much making up for for lack of staff.

Is there any place on the web where I can find a nice hi-res image of this particular aspect sheet? It is by far the newest I have seen. I have been researching "Conrail" signals for several months.

I still don't understand why each rail has different signals. Why not all the same.

What is the issue with drinking? Obviously you need to be sober on the job, but a beer over dinner? Can‘t see what‘s wrong with this (or „super responsible“ about not getting drunk). So it‘s just a normal day then I would say.

Going through training now. End of week 1. It’s not as hard as most people think. Don’t overthink things and study. As long as you are doing your e-learning and topic reviews, you will be fine. Hang test is not all that difficult and I am a skinny guy. Don’t overthink it. They will talk to you while you do it to distract you from overthinking. Signals can be tough, but I have NW, so it’s not too bad. Everyone is here to help you succeed. Also, as of right now all 3 weeks are day shift, but that will probably change again.

I hear some bitterness in your commentary and I am sorry for what you experienced. I think you are exactly the sort of person that the railroad needs in their workforce with your diligence and focus. Not many of your age can do this job since there is a lack of discipline and maturity in their mindset. I hope you decide to try again and build enough seniority so that you can hold a regular position.

I was thinking of leaving the trucking industry for railroad conductor. My concern is the pace. Is the pace of the work so fast that safety takes a back seat? I am sure by now you heard of the train derailment in East Palestine OH. Here is my opinion: The rail car needed to be at the customer, that dispatch pushed the train past safety. Please let me know what you think of the pace of the work?
