Hello I'm new to the site. I am interested in a career change and have had an interest in railroading for many years now.
Anyways I've spent weeks looking into railroads near me I could apply to but can not find much about them. I've found lots info about NS, CSX, BNSF, CP, CN, and UP. But I can't much of anything about KCS as far as how the atmosphere is there and pay is, nor can I find much out about there yard positions available in Corinth, MS. I have been wondering if it is a busy yard that has alot of opportunities or if it's a small low volume yard?
My next question is about a few shortline close to me that could be another place to try. Redmont Railroad in north east Mississippi, West Tennessee Railroad in west tennessee (obviously), and Tennessee Southern Railroad in middle tennessee. My questions about these shortline are good lines to work for, do any of them pay decent, are any of them union, and do they run 7 days a week?
Sorry for the long post, I'm just really interested in railroading but class 1 options are limited in my area.
Thanks.
