Watco Companies Conductor/Engineer reviews

When work is there, you get lots of hours, easily breaking 60-70K/year as a conductor, engineer 70-90K. Good pay for a regional/short line. Railroad retirement, management is very understanding and extremely easy to work with and get along with. When a manager leaves here, the train crews want to throw them a party and always hope the next guy is just as good. Best manager I've ever worked for, by far. and this is not the first, nor second, nor third railroad I've worked on, management here makes this place dozens of times better than any other line I've worked on anywhere in the USA. Great crews, extremely healthy crew to crew relationships. No union dues as there's no union, and this is a railroad that actually doesn't need a union with how well management treats the people.
