The track does not get built from a desk.

Track laborers carry materials, handle tools, support rail and tie work, keep the jobsite organized and follow the crew lead’s direction in changing conditions. It is demanding work, but it builds specialized skills and a career you can point to at the end of the day. We are proud of the people who choose to do it well.

A good foreman does more than assign the work.

Field leadership means reading the job, protecting the crew, keeping the railroad and customer informed, and adjusting the plan without losing sight of quality. The best foremen make expectations clear, ask questions early and build the kind of crew that looks out for one another.
