If you go into train service as a brakeman/conductor the least of your worries will be money. Rest, on the other hand, is difficult to obtain.
Better check the tire on your wheelbarrow and see how much air is in it. The cash can get heavy.
Good luck and stay safe, or the cash will do you no good. And, if they ever offer to have you take the Operating Management Test Battery, don't do it..........................

My husband started out the same way on Conrail/NS. His starting pay was 102.50 a day (8 hour shift) It then went up to 145.00 a day. he later became an engineer and can now pretty much write his own paycheck. There are so many variables in RR pay that it can be hard to figure out. Overtime, arbitraries, penalty pay.... Just do exactly what they tell you to do, and hold your wallet open...
Be Careful!!!!

flow to e-bay and enter union pacific in toys and hobbies. you will come across H, HO and N scale autos. some close by pastime shops might have sort trains, yet oftentimes not a solid selection till you're in a huge city.
