Who's writing this

I'm a railroad Signal Maintainer. When a train signal goes dark or a crossing gate won't come down, I'm the one who gets the call.

What the job actually is:

  • Inspect and test the signals that tell trains when to stop and when to go
  • Keep railroad crossing lights and gates working, so cars and trains never meet
  • Troubleshoot track circuits, wiring, and electronics out in the field
  • Run the federally required safety tests on all of it

I'm 27. This job paid for my house, two cars, and taking care of my daughter. Nobody told me this career existed when I was younger, so I'm telling you, straight, with the good and the bad.
