Transportation Workers
Section from the US Bureau Of Labour Statistics, Occupational
Outlook Handbook. Describes rail labour nature of work, conditions,
employment, training, job outlook and earnings.
"Freight and yard conductors and brake operators spend
most of their time outdoors in all kinds of weather. The work
of brake operators on local runs—where trains frequently
stop at stations to pick up and deliver cars—is physically
demanding. Climbing up and down and getting off moving cars
is strenuous and can be dangerous."
