    I wonder if the railroad crew gets hazardous duty pay that looks like a sketchy area to begin with the daytime and to think that job normally starts at 3 AM I know I wouldn’t want to be out there at that time in that area. Interesting video. Thank you for posting.

      There are coatings that they can apply that allow the graffiti to be washed off with a pressure washer. The stuff is expensive and has to be retreated fairly frequently. I doubt UP would pay for anything like that.

      ​@@Jun-rr4ivstarts with you most likely now going online and filling out that application when you turn 18. Understand this is like a truck driver you will be alcohol and drug tested. They will train you to be a trainman. Just expect to work and to work hard. Compensation is excellent. Family time is tough. You will miss so many parties and weekend events that it will hurt. But the railroad gives you an excellent retirement and an excellent pay package benefit. Just imagine doing this job 24 hours if any day all year long. The railroads don't stop. And they need you to work it. My father was an executive officer with the Southern Pacific. The Union Pacific took them over in the '90s. I got on as a Brakeman...
