I thought that this article was interesting it started out by talking about how this one chick worked during 9/11 and how she felt about helping people get out of that situation. I thought that was interesting because most people wouldn't think that this type of job would be so moving.
This lady says the enjoys her job because she gets to do many different things mainly involving communication between people like answering questions, taking tickets, collecting fares, and making sure that the ride to where ever it is these people need to go is safe! These people do a lot of things to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Like, coordinate the crews activities, make sure the train is working properly, from the doors to da lights. Also there are jobs in this field that don't require you to work on the train. Yardsmasters coordinate traffic which means that they figure out when to make up or break up trains, they switch the flow as needed. These types of jobs have a lot of responsibilities.
Now a days there are a lot of jobs out there dealing with this type of field. They also have a very good health plan which is said to pay 90% of employee health-care costs. They also have very good pay. I wish i could go do that... but we don't have any type of railroad system out there...
