Rail Transportation Workers
Section from the US Bureau Of Labour Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook. Describes
rail labour nature of work, conditions, employment, training, job outlook and earnings.
"Freight and yard conductors and brake operators
spend most of their time outdoors in all kinds of weather. The work of brake operators on
local runs—where trains frequently stop at stations to pick up and deliver
cars—is physically demanding. Climbing up and down and getting off moving cars is
strenuous and can be dangerous."
