firemen and oilers

I'm waiting on my results from background check, after i'm cleared and hired on what should i expect? I've read some good and bad things about the railroads but nothing specific about this position.

New here About what yard did you apply for I know Linwood Yard had an opening last month for the same postion.

to answer your ?

The job is to Fuel,sand,check oil,clean inside cab,drive forklift.

This is the list that I got when I asked the same quistion hope this helps

I'm in process for that job in the Knoxville, TN yard. An NS conductor told me that there are no bac jobs on the railroad. Some might not be 'for you', but it's easier to transfer from craft to craft than it is to get on in the first place.

Killerdragon,

did you get hired on at Linwood?

Just wondering because I work the diesel pit out there. Our firemen/oilers mostly add sand, clean cabs, supply cabs, do the toilet work, add fuel and throw the switches for the lazy electricians like me who do the driving.
