Well, I was offered the job to enter the training program to become a trainmaster on NS. I'd really appreciate any info or feedback on what to expect and how they are to work for. The interview/selection process was a pretty good experience ...

Also, I am wondering about the working conditions not only for trainmasters, but also the conductors and engineers ...

I think NS supplies the eggs for the switch point compliance tests but I could be wrong. I'd imagine they also supply the "Off" for hiding in the weeds, but again...

Bigc, you couldn’t put it better, lol. Here on the BNSF they also provide the basket.
