I've always wanted to ride along with one of these guys just for a day to see what exactly goes on. Their job is quite fascinating and it's way more than just sitting in the cab, controlling the speed and blowing the horn for crossings. I think I may have just found myself a new industry to pursue!

@helloween1987 - Try that on BNSF, and your ass is fired. No questions asked.

@helloween1987 Well you have to ride on the end of the car, I do that every work shift, tho you may not want to walk across to the other side of the car while you are backing up. That's what's dangerous cause if for any reason you have a run out then you might fall on the rails and have the car rolling over you. Anyway you do what you want but I dont take such risks. Many accidents happened that way.

@BordelDeMerle You are supposed to do it... before you apply for a conductor position it clearly says in the job posting every railroad does it..

nice video!

One of the best clips I've seen, to the point.
That was a good clip. Locomotive engineers and Railroad conductors have tough, challenging jobs..today more than ever with the hard emphasis on safety, drug/alcohol testing and the odd hours. Definetly need a good work ethic and attitude. Drunks, and potheads don't stay employed long; especially now that union members won't cover for dangerous employees as was often done in the past.
