Dorr,Great tip for those looking. Also, information on jobs available in the railroad industry can be found at www.rrb.gov. The Railroad Retirement Board list this and many other items of info mainly for employees, but those looking to get into the industry can start there, too.
Anyone working for a railroad can go there to find out how much their retirement annuities are, what the qualifications are, age/service requirments, spousal benefits, etc.
