| You'll never know.   I haven't been on freight,

I have.

| but things I don't like are:
|
| 1) 03:00 starts.

and 1am, 2am, 4am and every minute in between.


| 2) Barracks work

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!


| 3) Not knowing when I'll be home

Or when you're starting again.


| 4) Being at the mercy of train controllers

And roster clerks, fleet controllers, train crewing managers, supervisors,
inspectors, office staff...........


| 5) Sitting out the peak in a siding

Or even the off-peak.


| 6) Roustabout

Week after week.
