Newty,
I've been workin' on the railroad,
All the live long day.
I've been workin' on the railroad,
Just to pass the time away.
Don't you hear the whistle blowing?
Rise up so early in the morn.
Don't you hear the captain shouting
"Dinah, blow your horn?"

Beat me to it Drew!
I had a friend who worked for the railroad. Loved it and the pay was good but the crew he was with was very on and off with work and after only a couple years he left. Hopefully it's a bit more steady!So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

A friend at work has a husband who works for the railroad and when he retires the spouse gets 1/2 of a retirement also. Sounds like one of the better paying jobs and benefits.

My Dad did it for a while. My grandfather did it for a long time and retired. His wife (grandma) lived to be 89 and collected RR retirement for a long time.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!
