Cool thread.

I'm a Locomotive driver flying in and out of the Pilbara (very rich iron ore deposits in Australia) I drive the longest trains in the southern hemisphere (and possibly the northern aswell) at 3km long.

Pretty full on occupation and lifestyle with flying into and out of site for half a month at a time, but I enjoy it.

Good to read others experiences aswell 👍
Every boys dream!

That's an awesome job. All the trainspotters admire you! I long for a nice O scale layout! 😀👍

I find it hilarious that you're the only one that felt it necessary to include their salary in 6 pages of responses lol. Are we supposed to be impressed by that number lol? You really wanna play that game? There's a girl that sells her farts, and she makes $200k/year. By the grace of God I make more than her, but still, she didn't have to endure the trauma of law school.

See why listing salaries is silly?

That is janky.

I'm an ITS Traffic Signal Tech, and, with all due respect as I don't personally know the engineer, most of us in my line of work generally don't appreciate the engineers. Some of that reasoning is apparent here.....
