Oregon Railroad JobsAs with almost every other state the largest employers for Oregon railroad jobs and positions are the large Class I systems. However, the state also has its share of smaller railroads as well although it is usually much harder to find a position within these companies due to their small size.
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 Oregon: Amtrak (Our nation's intercity passenger rail carrier serves Oregon.) BNSF Railway Union Pacific Albany and Eastern Railroad Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad City of Prineville Railway Hampton Railway Idaho Northern and Pacific Railroad Klamath Northern Railway Lake County Railroad Oregon Eastern Railroad Oregon Pacific Railroad Palouse River and Coulee City Railroad Peninsula Terminal Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad Portland and Western Railroad Portland Terminal Railroad Wallowa Union Railroad WCTU Railway Willamette and Pacific Railroad Willamette Valley Railway MAX Light Rail Westside Express Service Willamette Shore Trolley For more information about shortline railroads that serve Oregon please click here to visit the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association's website.
