What state you live in if its Minnesota I can point you too many places that need train conductors, most that is brining iron ore from the iron range to duluth so it can be shipped. I have a few buddies who do it they make decent money and since its all in state their home every night and all that. I thought about it but I'd go crazy in a little train cabin all day I gotta be moving.

Re: I'm nothing but bad luck
I'm currently in New Hampshire. Only the Amtrak runs through here. I know a couple guys in Iowa who work for Union Pacific, and they make at least $27 an hour...New England kinda sucks.

My step-dad works as a track inspector so he got me on out there, but living next to one of the largest train yards in the world, it's pretty easy to work out there, they always need people. But of course I'm ready for the job now because I seriously need a new car more than anything...I was stranded in a tiny town over the weekend because my car would just not start....it was not dead, there was gas and oil in there. All we did was roll it out of the ditch and into a yard, 15 minutes later it started up without having to work on anything. I still don't know what was wrong with it.
