    I landed a conductor job in Edgemont SD. Now, my pregnant wife, who is awesome and familiar with a transient husband since I was former infantry, is wanting to know what my real pay could be. I intend to live in my camper and hang on to the extra board for dear life. We have had a rough go of things for some time and almost went broke getting to the interview. I need to be a promise keeper, and that means being a provider - home or not. Any insight into the bnsf powder river division would help fellas. I'm not doing it for the money, but since she is staying in Indiana for the first year, she wants to know what her and the kids financial situation will be like, as do I. I have a rough idea of the minimum. But being a good extra board guy should pay quite a bit more than 40k right?
