This is a hands-on railroad position where you'll work directly with locomotives in a railyard using specialized equipment, lifting and pulling hoses, and climbing in and out of your truck or climbing locomotive steps multiple times per shift. You will be working outside in all types of weather.

Because railroad operations run continuously, dispatches may occur at any time during your scheduled shift. You are paid for your full 12-hour shift, including breaks, lunch, and wait time.
