Okay, I've been contemplating whether or not it would be worth it to apply for locomotive engineer (with NJ Transit). The pros would be more money, a little more seclusion (won't have to deal with passengers as much nor traffic), plus it is another thing besides driving a bus that I've always wanted to do.
The cons from what I understand are the hours and way of life when you first start - on call, odd hours, various work locations, etc.
I read the description and the cons are giving me serious reservations about it. Don't get me wrong, I love driving a bus and I'm in NO rush to give it up. Still, it's something I'd like to learn a little more about.
If anybody here has any insight or information about locomotive engineer, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks.
