Pros

Long term employment and health benefits. The work is not hard in train service but the hours away from home and family at nights and weekends are the worse part.

Cons

Company refuses to give train crews any compensated paid leave days (Vacatuon & Personal leave dtys) on weekends when our families are off. We have 4,000 plus employees layed off and the extra boards that cover employees on vacations are cut to the minimum.
