Interesting take. I know three guys who work for the railroad out of Addis and Livonia and even they admit it’s a pretty sweet gig.
They definitely work for their money, but none of them claim to be mistreated or undervalued.

Friend of a friend is hanging on by a thread at CSX - wants to see how the next few weeks goes but he's 100% fed up with them. Fella is averaging one day off at home per three weeks and is sick of being stuck in motel rooms away from his family all the time. It was about five or six years ago I was considering looking for a rail job and he bluntly told me I'd be insane to do it. Glad I took his advice.

Same here, the couple of people I know who work for railroads love it and say they are probably overpaid for what they do.
