    Does anyone know anything about the availability of train service jobs at Central Oregon & Pacific? Is it as good a railroad to work for, and does it pay as much, as UP or BNSF?

    I know that they pay union wages and they were hiring a couple of months ago. A couple of guys from the McCloud RR are now working for them out of Weed, CA.
    They seem to have decent equipment to work with too, but you'll have to speak with an employee to find out what it's really like. Sometimes looks are deceiving. [​IMG]

    I suggest that you join the CORPfan group over at Yahoo. There are several active CORP rails on that list that should be able to answer your questions.

    I joined the CORPfan group, and posted my inquiry about a week ago. No replies yet, but there doesn't seem to have been many postings this week. I'll let y'all know what I find out when I hear something.

    I saw your introduction message come across the list...good to have you on board. CORPfan group has been very quiet for a while now...I might drop a message asking people to answer your query.
