New Hampshire Railroad Jobs
New Hampshire railroading no longer has an operating Class I within its borders although several shortlines and tourist railroads still operate within the state. At one time the Granite State featured such fabled Northeastern railroads as the Maine Central and Boston & Maine although that is no longer the case today. While New Hampshire may only operate a few hundred miles of railroad in the 21st century it offers some spectacular views of New England railroading at its finest. If you have never worked for a railroad or know much about the industry please let me warn you that a career in the field is not for the faint of heart. Railroading is tough work and takes a dedicated breed not only to handle the physical demands required but also the mental fatigue, as working 12-hour, seven-day-a-week shifts is normal (and overtime is mandatory). While a more predictable work schedule does come with seniority, don’t expect it to happen within a short period of time. Some railroaders wait 20 years or more to land a “9 to 5” workday, which usually consists of working yard or local jobs. There is a reason why railroaders say that railroading becomes a lifestyle, its not just saying! Having said that, if you are able to hire on with a shortline (Class III) or regional (Class II) railroad the opportunity for a more predictable schedule is very likely although the pay is not quite as good. Having said that below is a list of many railroads operating in New Hampshire: Amtrak (Our nation's intercity passenger rail carrier serves New Hampshire.) Claremont Concord Railroad New England Central Railroad New England Southern Railroad New Hampshire Central Railroad New Hampshire Northcoast Pan Am Railways St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad For more information about shortline railroads that serve New Hampshire please click here to visit the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association's website.
