    I was wondering if most truckers aspire to be RR conductors because of the pay; if not, why not?

    Actually I am curious.
    Trains fascinate me!
    Does it pay well? Where do I apply?
    What is the job like?

    I'm serious. I had an occasion to chat with a gentleman that was swapping tankers out at Coca-cola in Atlanta last summer. He gave me the. 05¢ tour. It looked fascinating!

    an engineer would be a great job--
    but i am sure it would get monotanous as well
    i did work for cp rail when i was young--was a great job--great pay---like a donkey i quit when my old job came back
