Moose , hi . I am on a spareboard which means I protect all unassinged trains and when guys on the preffered trains take a day off or go on vacation . Most weeks I work 5 to 6 days . Summertime can work up to 80 hours a week . I am guarunteed Tweleve Hundred Dollars a week no matter how many days I work . As long as I don't miss call or call in sick ect... Last week I worked a round tripper on Monday . Port Huron to Battle Creek and cabbed back home to PH . Round trip 12 hours . Did the same thing Wednesday in 10 hours . On Friday I worked auto train #271 from PH to BC and was on duty 9 hours . Stopped and set out cars at Flint & Lansing and also picked up .
