working for CN?

What does anyone know about working for CN? Good conditions? Pay comparison to others like UP? ANy other help..... testing for trainservice jobs

It's got good and bad points. We get paid fairly well, right now 100% pay on the former IC side is $280/basic day for brakeman and $300/basic day for conductor. 10 hour basic day which can suck when it's really hot or really cold out. Extra boards work 11 on, 3 off and regular jobs are 6 days a week. The CN is kinda lax on the rules compared to other Class 1's. Where were you thinking of trying to hire out at?

Thanks for your reply.... Decatur,IL was where I was looking at.

Do they run a 3 man crew? How does the brakeman come in as opposed to a conductor? Brakeman does the job of conductor setting handbrakes, and operating switches?
