And the railroads are run really bad. I was talking to a person shipping
200 WW2 tanks from the SF Bay Area to the East Coast. Was cheaper on
trucks in the end. Railroad wanted $4800 a tank, 3 months to get them
there. Plus the safety inspector wanted bribes to allow them loaded.
Otherwise had to move them like 3/8 inch. Plus after 3 months of travel
they had a short time to unload before rent on the railcar kicked in.


Truck was only $6400 and a week delivery.


The railroads in this country are heavily unionized. Paying union wages is expensive, and then the union inspectors are corrupt. Surprise!


Funny stuff. Railroads pay living wages to their employees, and that
really, truly ****es off right-wing assholes.


Polly want a cracker?


Here, I'll fix it for you: Railroads are forced to pay high wages to their union-protected corrupt employees, and that ****es off real working people who depend on their work achievements and ethics to get and retain the best paying jobs.

Have a nice day.


High wages? Salaries for railroad workers aren't that high. The median
is $42k, locomotive engineers are in the $50 to $60k range, conductors
in the $40k range.

You're just another right-wing asshole who resents hard-working
Americans and what they have to do to earn a living.
