Why is it that with Norfolk Southern, it seems like they are the only railroad hiring conductors right now but other Class I's aren't?

The Unions have driven up wages and lawyers have driven up litigation. The railroads, just like farmers and all have automated as much as possible. The railroads have found automation to be safer and never gets tired. The jobs are hard to keep because the level of accuracy required to handle trains is unforgiving, with billions of dollars of consist ridding a man's wits. The hours are all over the place and new comers only work seasonally. If you are serious about a real american job, vote republican.

It's because the economy is in such bad shape regardless of what the Democrats tell you. We have a bunch of people furloughed here on the UP.
