@Rocketboy1950: So you would drive for ...what, about 12 hours or so, and then switch crews and get some rest....and then be a crew swap for another train on the next day? Do you always have to work your way back home, or will they fly you home?
@JetMechMA There are far too many variables to explain. Lots of different companies with different work practices. Getting put on a plane is rare in the extreme.
You guys must ride in a different loco every day. How many days on the road usually until you get back home?

@JetMechMA It depends entirely on who you work for, the type of work and where you operate from. A job can be six hours to six days.

She rolls around alright. Have you ever thought of giving those big Yank Tanks in the Pilbara a go ?
Big power and track maintained to the nth degree. No one to annoy you on the other side of the cab.
