It will be shift work, training should be between 6-12 months depending on your background, the job may or may not be stressful, that depends on how you deal with things.

Someone told me that i should think real hard about moving so far from home because there are time where there is no work from 3-6months at a time. Is this true? I would hate to movie and find out that the work is not consistent.

No.

Can you elaborate on this question... Someone told me that i should think real hard about moving so far from home because there are time where there is no work from 3-6months at a time. Is this true? I would hate to movie and find out that the work is not consistent.

There is nothing to elaborate on. That is just down right false. Maintanence always needs to be done (it is federally mandated), plus the transportation personnel tend to beat the shit out of equipment, so there is a never ending supply of broken equipment caused by them (as well as industries that bang up cars).
