As a Switchman, you'll be part of a crew that keeps rail operations moving safely and efficiently. This is a hands-on, outdoor role where teamwork and safety always come first. A Day in the Life You'll start your shift by joining your crew for a job briefing, reviewing the safety plan and assignments for the evening.

The work is outdoors in all types of weather-hot summer days, cold winter nights, rain, dust, and noise-but it's steady, active, and rewarding. You'll spend your shift walking uneven ground, climbing on and off equipment, and staying alert to your surroundings. At the end of the day, you'll know your work helped keep freight moving across the country.
