Don't want to bore you guys with detail..I live pretty close to the Allentown yard but I'm not sure if it's worth moving out to Harrisburg (2 hours drive away from my home) and taking a chance there, hearing the works better out there. I know it's really a roll of the dice where is the "better" place to work out of. I know a couple conductors that work out of Harrisburg and they seem they are doing pretty well out there but I don't know anyone in Allentown so I have no idea if its better here or in Harrisburg. All I've heard about NS Allentown is the HR people are stricter and there's less work because less trains (or could their acquisition of the D&H south of Sch'dy change that?)

You're advice NS Conductor/Engineers?
