I just got the call, I start next month as a conductor with the alaska railroad. It's a pretty sweet deal, most breathtaking rail line in the country. 75% thing again, oh well, top rate right now is $36 hour. They say you turn and burn on the x-board. You work both passenger and freight, plus they still have fireman position's. No B.L.E.T. up there, all U.T.U. also no railroad retirement up there, alaska has there own retirement program, highball, Dean
Good luck with that. Seems like fun.
From what I understand, ARR is a nice small operation, where everyone knows everyone else.
